Can I get parameter names/values procedurally from the currently executing function?

Question

I would like to do something like this:

public MyFunction(int integerParameter, string stringParameter){
    //Do this:
    LogParameters();
    //Instead of

This is the Utility class that creates the log.

internal class ParamaterLogModifiedUtility
{
    private  String _methodName;
    private String _paramaterLog;

    private readonly JavaScriptSerializer _serializer;
    private readonly Dictionary _methodParamaters;
    private readonly List>_providedParametars;

    public ParamaterLogModifiedUtility(params Expression>[] providedParameters)
    {
        try
        {
            _serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
            var currentMethod = new StackTrace().GetFrame(1).GetMethod();

            /*Set class and current method info*/
            _methodName = String.Format("Class = {0}, Method = {1}", currentMethod.DeclaringType.FullName, currentMethod.Name);

            /*Get current methods paramaters*/
            _methodParamaters = new Dictionary();
            (from aParamater in currentMethod.GetParameters()
             select new { Name = aParamater.Name, DataType = aParamater.ParameterType })
             .ToList()
             .ForEach(obj => _methodParamaters.Add(obj.Name, obj.DataType));

            /*Get provided methods paramaters*/
            _providedParametars = new List>();
            foreach (var aExpression in providedParameters)
            {
                Expression bodyType = aExpression.Body;

                if (bodyType is MemberExpression)
                {
                    AddProvidedParamaterDetail((MemberExpression)aExpression.Body);
                }
                else if (bodyType is UnaryExpression)
                {
                    UnaryExpression unaryExpression = (UnaryExpression)aExpression.Body;
                    AddProvidedParamaterDetail((MemberExpression)unaryExpression.Operand);
                }
                else
                {
                    throw new Exception("Expression type unknown.");
                }
            }

            /*Process log for all method parameters*/
            ProcessLog();

        }
        catch (Exception exception)
        {
            throw new Exception("Error in paramater log processing.", exception);
        }
    }

    private void ProcessLog()
    {
        try
        {
            foreach (var aMethodParamater in _methodParamaters)
            {
                var aParameter =
                    _providedParametars.Where(
                        obj => obj.Item1.Equals(aMethodParamater.Key) && obj.Item2 == aMethodParamater.Value).Single();
                _paramaterLog += String.Format(@" ""{0}"":{1},", aParameter.Item1, _serializer.Serialize(aParameter.Item3));
            }
            _paramaterLog = (_paramaterLog != null) ? _paramaterLog.Trim(' ', ',') : string.Empty;
        }
        catch (Exception exception)
        {
            throw new Exception("MathodParamater is not found in providedParameters.");
        }
    }

    private void AddProvidedParamaterDetail(MemberExpression memberExpression)
    {
        ConstantExpression constantExpression = (ConstantExpression) memberExpression.Expression;
        var name = memberExpression.Member.Name;
        var value = ((FieldInfo) memberExpression.Member).GetValue(constantExpression.Value);
        var type = value.GetType();
        _providedParametars.Add(new Tuple(name, type, value));
    }


    public String GetLog()
    {
        return String.Format("{0}({1})", _methodName, _paramaterLog);
    }

}

Using the Utility

class PersonLogic
{
    public bool Add(PersonEntity aPersonEntity, ushort age = 12, String id = "1", String name = "Roy")
    {
        string log =  new ParamaterLogModifiedUtility(() => aPersonEntity, () => age, () => id, () => name).GetLog();
        return true;
    }
}

Now Calling the Usages

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            PersonLogic personLogic = new PersonLogic();
            personLogic.Add(id: "1", age: 24, name: "Dipon", aPersonEntity: new PersonEntity() { Id = "1", Name = "Dipon", Age = 24 });
        }
        catch (Exception exception)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Error.");
        }
        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}

Result Log:

        Class = MethodParamatersLog.Logic.PersonLogic, Method = Add("aPersonEntity":{"CreatedDateTime":"\/Date(1383422468353)\/","Id":"1","Name":"Dipon","Age":24}, "age":24, "id":"1", "name":"Dipon")
