How to get the name of the class which contains the method which called the current method?

Question

I have a requirement where I need to know the name of the class (ApiController) which has a method (GetMethod) which is called by another m

Answer 1

Why not simply pass the name as constructor parameter? This doesn't hide the dependency, unlike StackFrame/StackTrace.

For example:

public class ApiController
{
    private readonly OtherClass _otherClass = new OtherClass(nameof(ApiController));

    public void GetMethod()
    {
        _otherClass.OtherMethod();
    }
}

public class OtherClass
{
    private readonly string _controllerName;

    public OtherClass(string controllerName)
    {
        _controllerName = controllerName;
    }

    public void OtherMethod()
    {
        Console.WriteLine(_controllerName);
    }
}
