How to determine calling method and class name? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Try doing something like this:

var mth = new StackTrace().GetFrame(1).GetMethod();
var cls = mth.ReflectedType.Name;
// where 1 illustrates how deep into the stack to reflect.

There are more elegant solutions in C# 5.0 >, however if you are using older frameworks, the above will help.

Answer 2

You may just record the full stack trace instead of just the calling method using Environment.StackTrace. This may help you if you want to use the same logging structure to log exceptions.
