How to print the current executing method name via an auxiliary method?

Question

ExecutingMethodName is intended to print the method name of the caller. For example:

• static void Main(string[] args){Auxiliary.ExecutingMethodName();} should print Main.

• static void Foo(){Auxiliary.ExecutingMethodName();} should print Foo.

static class Auxiliary
{
    public static void ExecutingMethodName()
    {
        Console.WriteLine(new StackFrame(0).GetMethod().Name);
    }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Auxiliary.ExecutingMethodName();// should print Main
    }
    static void Foo()
    {
        Auxiliary.ExecutingMethodName();// should print Foo
    }    
}

Question

The current implementation above always print ExecutingMethodName that is not what I want. How to print the current executing method name via an auxiliary method?

Answer 1

Just change 0 to 1 in stackframe call in your method (StackFrame(0) is your currrent position in call stack and you need to go one step back):

public static void ExecutingMethodName()
{
    Console.WriteLine(new StackFrame(1).GetMethod().Name);
}
