How to find the FULL name of the calling method in C#

Question

How can I find the full name of a calling method in C#? I have seen solutions:

How I can get the calling methods in C#

How can I find the method that called the current method?

Get Calling function name from Called function

But they only give me the top level. Consider the example:

namespace Sandbox {     class Program     {         static void Main(string[] args)         {             test();         }          static void test()         {             var stackTrace = new StackTrace();             var methodBase = stackTrace.GetFrame(1).GetMethod();             Console.WriteLine(methodBase.Name);         }     } } 

This simply outputs 'Main'. How can I get it to print 'Sandbox.Program.Main'?

It's for a simple logging framework that I am working on.

Adding onto Matzi's Answer:

Here is the solution:

namespace Sandbox {     class Program     {         static void Main(string[] args)         {             test();         }          static void test()         {             var stackTrace = new StackTrace();             var methodBase = stackTrace.GetFrame(1).GetMethod();             var Class = methodBase.ReflectedType;             var Namespace = Class.Namespace;         // Added finding the namespace             Console.WriteLine(Namespace + "." + Class.Name + "." + methodBase.Name);         }     } } 

It produces 'Sandbox.Program.Main' like it should.

Answer 1

This is something like here.

MethodBase method = stackTrace.GetFrame(1).GetMethod(); string methodName = method.Name; string className = method.ReflectedType.Name;  Console.WriteLine(className + "." + methodName); 

Answer 2

I think the best way to get the full name is:

 this.GetType().FullName + "." + System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name; 

Or try this:

string method = string.Format("{0}.{1}", MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType.FullName, MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name); 

And if you want to display the most recent function call, you can use:

StackTrace st  = new StackTrace(); StackFrame sf  = st.GetFrame(0); var methodName = sf.GetMethod(); 

But if you want to display the tree of calling functions, you can do it like this:

if (st.FrameCount >1) {      // Display the highest-level function call      // in the trace.      StackFrame sf = st.GetFrame(st.FrameCount-1);      Console.WriteLine("  Original function call at top of call stack):");      Console.WriteLine("      {0}", sf.GetMethod()); }
