Get Method name that threw exception

Question

I know. A similar question has already asked.

• How to get the name of the method that caused the exception

but I haven\'t got the exact solution

Answer 1

.net supports getting the stack trace information from an exception. You could filter out the method (and its name) by examining the first frame (origin).

new StackTrace(ex).GetFrame(0).GetMethod().Name

This would probably give you exactly the same as the targetsite (the win io), but you can examine the stacktrace for the first user code, or the first frame in your type, or whichever your needs.

For example, getting the name of the culprit thrower in your current assembly:

var s = new StackTrace(ex);
var thisasm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();                
var methodname = s.GetFrames().Select(f => f.GetMethod()).First(m => m.Module.Assembly == thisasm).Name;
