Reflection, Get Calling Method/Class Info [Resolved]

[<ABX]

Is it possible to get the Name and Class of a method that calls a method.


'This works for getting information about the calling assembly, but not anything more indepth.


MsgBox("I was Called by: " & Reflection.Assembly.GetCallingAssembly.GetName.Name)

[skybound.ca]

Try this:

Dim method As System.Reflection.MethodBase

' the calling method is always frame 1 of the call stack (the current method is frame 0):
method = New System.Diagnostics.StackTrace().GetFrame(1).GetMethod()

' show the name of the calling method:
MessageBox.Show(method.Name)

You can then use member.ReflectedType to get information about the class.

No guarantees on performance here.

Thanks :D

Im not too worried about speed issue because this is for a debugging feature that will only be on when developing and testing.
