C# how to get the name of the current method from code

For example:

void foo() {
    Console.Write(__MYNAME__);
}

print: foo

it's possible do it in C#?

Solution 1

Try this:

System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name 

Solution 2

You can check the stack trace

using System.Diagnostics;

// get call stack
StackTrace stackTrace = new StackTrace();

// get calling method name
Console.WriteLine(stackTrace.GetFrame(0).GetMethod().Name);

But beware, if the method is inlined you get the parent method name.
