Answering "What method called me?" .NET runtime? Or are CallStack data read by code?

Question

Suppose that there are methods A (), methodB (), and methodC ().

And the C () method is called at runtime.

Is it possible to find out why the C () method is called from which method?

I thought if CallStack could be read while doing some checks? If so, I think this should not be a big problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Use the StackTrace and StackFrame . For instance:

 StackTrace stackTrace = new StackTrace(); StackFrame[] stackFrames = stackTrace.GetFrames(); foreach (StackFrame stackFrame in stackFrames) { string method = stackFrame.GetMethod().Name; // do some stuff with method } 

Answer 2

Yes, the call stack can be read at runtime using StackTrace.GetFrames .
