Like the title says: Can reflection give you the name of the currently executing method.
I’m inclined to guess not, because of the Heisenberg problem. How do you call a method that will tell you the current method without changing what the current method is? But I’m hoping someone can prove me wrong there.
Update:
- Part 2: Could this be used to look inside code for a property as well?
- Part 3: What would the performance be like?
Final Result
I learned about MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod(). I also learned that not only can I create a stack trace, I can create only the exact frame I need if I want.
To use this inside a property, just take a .Substring(4) to remove the ‘set_’ or ‘get_’.
