Using nameof to get name of current method
You can't use nameof
to achieve that, but how about this workaround:
The below uses no direct reflection (just like nameof
) and no explicit method name.
Results.Add(GetCaller(), result);
public static string GetCaller([CallerMemberName] string caller = null)
{
return caller;
}
GetCaller
returns the name of any method that calls it.
Building on user3185569's great answer:
public static string GetMethodName(this object type, [CallerMemberName] string caller = null)
{
return type.GetType().FullName + "." + caller;
}
Results in you being able to call this.GetMethodName()
anywhere to return the fully qualified method name.
Same as others, but some variation:
/// <summary>
/// Returns the caller method name.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="type"></param>
/// <param name="caller"></param>
/// <param name="fullName">if true returns the fully qualified name of the type, including its namespace but not its assembly.</param>
/// <returns></returns>
public static string GetMethodName(this object type, [CallerMemberName] string caller = null, bool fullName = false)
{
if (type == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(type));
var name = fullName ? type.GetType().FullName : type.GetType().Name;
return $"{name}.{caller}()";
}
Allows to call it like this:
Log.Debug($"Enter {this.GetMethodName()}...");
