    You can get the method name by configuring your TextFormatter in the config file. I’ve included the whole formatter to give you some context but the key thing to look for is the {property(MethodName)} in the template attribute. I’m not sure how to get the line number.

    <loggingConfiguration name="" tracingEnabled="true" defaultCategory="General">
    <formatters>
        <add type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Formatters.TextFormatter, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=5.0.414.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" 
        template="Timestamp: {timestamp}{newline}&#xA;Title: {title}{newline}&#xA;Message: {message}{newline}&#xA;Category: {category}{newline}&#xA;Priority: {priority}{newline}&#xA;EventId: {eventid}{newline}&#xA;Severity: {severity}{newline}&#xA;Machine: {localMachine}{newline}&#xA;App Domain: {localAppDomain}{newline}&#xA;ProcessId: {localProcessId}{newline}&#xA;Process Name: {localProcessName}{newline}&#xA;Thread Name: {threadName}{newline}&#xA;Win32 ThreadId:{win32ThreadId}{newline}&#xA;Extended Properties: {dictionary({key} - {value}{newline})}&#xA;Type: {property(TypeName)}{newline}&#xA;Method: {property(MethodName)}{newline}&#xA;Parameters: {dictionary({key} : {value};)}{newline}&#xA;Return Value: {property(ReturnValue)}{newline}&#xA;Call Time: {property(CallTime)}{newline}" 
        name="Detailed Text Formatter" />
    </formatters>
</loggingConfiguration>

    The MSDN article on Configuring Formatters mentions these special tokens but unfortunately doesn’t explain how to use them very well.
