Can you get Method name that threw Exception?

Question

Is there a C# method that returns to the upper-most caller, the Name of MY Method that threw an exception, even if the actual exception was thrown by another (eg database driver errors when my method calls it) ?

Caller -> MyMethod -> DbDriver(error)

I want "MyMethod", not "DbDriver"

I'd rather not re-throw exceptions all the way up the chain.

My current kludge, is to iterate through the StackTrace frames, and parse out my Method using MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType .

Is there a built-in method to get this information or a more elegant solution?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Use Exception.TargetSite property to get the method name

Gets the method that throws the current exception.

Answer 2

You need the stack trace ability.
