Using System.Reflection to Get a Method's Full Name

Question

I have a class that look like the following:

public class MyClass {  ...      protected void MyMethod()     {     ...     string myName = System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod.Name;     ...     }  ...  } 

The value of myName is "MyMethod".

Is there a way that I can use Reflection to get a value of "MyClass.MyMethod" for myName instead?

Answer 1

You could look at the ReflectedType of the MethodBase you get from GetCurrentMethod, i.e.,

MethodBase method = System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod(); string methodName = method.Name; string className = method.ReflectedType.Name;  string fullMethodName = className + "." + methodName; 

Answer 2

And to get the full method name with parameters:

var method = System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod(); var fullName = string.Format("{0}.{1}({2})", method.ReflectedType.FullName, method.Name, string.Join(",", method.GetParameters().Select(o => string.Format("{0} {1}", o.ParameterType, o.Name)).ToArray()));
