Get current method and class without exception and without using reflection in C#

Question

I am wanting to log out some INFO logging in a method, and I am not wanting to use reflection to get hold of the Class and Method name.

For Error logging I can get the stack off the exception but how do I do this without an exception to get the StackTrace off?

Answer 1

You can get the information about the caller using caller attributes

public void Log(Exception ex, [CallerFilePath]string callerFilePath = null, [CallerMemberName]string callerMemberName = null, [CallerLineNumber]int callerLineNumber = 0)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Message: {ex.Message} # File: {callerFilePath} # Line: {callerLineNumber} # Member: {callerMemberName}"  );
}

When the method is called the information about the caller will be passes to you by the compiler, you don't need to manually specify the parameters.
