How do I get the calling method name and type using reflection?

How can I find the method that called the current method?

I'd like to write a method which obtains the name of the calling method, and the name of the class containing the calling method.

Is it possible with C# reflection?

Answer 1

public class SomeClass
{
    public void SomeMethod()
    {
        StackFrame frame = new StackFrame(1);
        var method = frame.GetMethod();
        var type = method.DeclaringType;
        var name = method.Name;
    }
}

Now let's say you have another class like this:

public class Caller
{
   public void Call()
   {
      SomeClass s = new SomeClass();
      s.SomeMethod();
   }
}

name will be "Call" and type will be "Caller"

UPDATE Two years later since I'm still getting upvotes on this

In .Net 4.5 there is now a much easier way to do this. You can take advantage of the CallerMemberNameAttribute

Going with the previous example:

public class SomeClass
{
    public void SomeMethod([CallerMemberName]string memberName = "")
    {
        Console.WriteLine(memberName); //output will be name of calling method
    }
}
