Question

See this example:

''//file1.vb Sub Something()     ''//...     Functions.LogInfo('some text')     ''//... End Sub  ''//functions.vb Sub LogInfo(ByVal entry as String)      Console.WriteLine(entry)  End Sub 

Can I get the the name ‘Something’ inside LogInfo?

Sorry for the briefness of this post, I am not sure how to properly articulate this question. I will clarify and elaborate as needed.

(EDIT: Removed unnecessary use of StackTrace itself – which would be useful if you wanted to print out more info than just one frame.)

You can use the StackFrame class, but it’s pretty expensive (IIRC) and may be slightly incorrect due to inlining.

EDIT: Something like this: (the NoInlining is to make sure it behaves properly…)

Imports System.Diagnostics Imports System.Runtime.CompilerServices  Public Class Test      Shared Sub Main()         Something()     End Sub              <MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.NoInlining)> _     Shared Sub Something()                 Functions.LogInfo('some text')     End Sub  End Class  Public Class Functions      <MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.NoInlining)> _     Public Shared Sub LogInfo (ByVal entry as String)         Dim frame as StackFrame = new StackFrame(1, False)         Console.WriteLine('{0}: {1}', _                           frame.GetMethod.Name, _                           entry)     End Sub  End Class
