You could use additional parameters marked with System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CallerMemberNameAttribute and it's siblings CallerFilePath and CallerLineNumber. If I understand it correctly this should get you the correct method name, no matter what's inlined an what's not. You will only get the method name however, I don't see anything to get the class name/assembly etc.

It should go without saying, but just to be sure... something like this should not be used outside of logging/diagnostics.

Proper ways to do this would probably be:

• Pass the required information as a parameter
• Temporarily store the required information in Thread.ExecutionContext while calling the function

I realize that this probably won't be of any help to Scott after all this time, but maybe someone else can benefit from it.
