How performant is StackFrame?

Question

I am considering using something like StackFrame stackFrame = new StackFrame(1) to log the executing method, but I don\'t know about its performance implication

Answer 1

I know what you mean, but this example result is overshoot. Executing the GetCurrentMethod even when logging is turned off is a waste. It should be something like:

if (loggingEnabled) TraceCall(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod());  

Or if you want the TraceCall always executed:

TraceCall(loggingEnabled ? MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod() : null);
