Name of Calling function [Resolved]

[Danial]

Hi,
I have Classes that are shared between web apps and windows apps. One of my class is an Error Hanlder which handles all errors and logs them. Now if the class is used in Windows App i display the error message using message box, now since in ASP.Net i cant display Message Box, i want to display the error message using Trace class.

Now what i need a way of identifying whether the class is used in ASP.net or C#. So i can do something like

if (Source) = WinApp
{
MessageBox(ex.Message);

LogError(ex);
}
else
{
WriteTraceInfo(ex);
LogError(ex);
}

Thanks for any help.

Why not pass that info into the constructor of your error handler? The author of the calling application knows what type of app it is (or at least you would hope).

// Code to get the method name...
string methodName = GetCallingMethod().Name;

private System.Reflection.MethodBase GetCallingMethod()
{
	// Get the current stack frame, and skip the first two frames.
	System.Diagnostics.StackFrame frame =
		new System.Diagnostics.StackFrame(2, false);
	// Return the first method in the stack frame, as this will be the
	// calling function.
	return frame.GetMethod();
}
