Getting the Value of a Method name itSelf into a string

Question

i am trying to output a log of methods and their actions if taken and results into a "MyAppLog_ListView" the columnsHeaders of the lisftview Are

Record#______MethodName__________MethodsOutput

1      ______GetCurrentTime______success(21:10)
2      ______DoSplitString_______faild(not in right Format)
3......................................etc'...

this helps me debuging my program as it's over 1500 lines of code and atleast for me it's getting a little too complex , the question is what is the right way to store methods name in a string

public void MyMethod()
{
      do stuff 

       if (comleted) MyAppLog_ListView_AddRecord(string for the methods name, outputSucces)
       else if (faild) MyAppLog_ListView_AddRecord(string for the methods name, outputFail)


}

how do i get MyMethod().Name to store in a string ?

ReEdit :

As to SidAhmeds Answer :

 public void MyMethodName()

    {
          do stuff 

         string Mnam = MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name;
           if (comleted) MyAppLog_ListView_AddRecord(Mnam , outputSucces);
           else if (faild) MyAppLog_ListView_AddRecord(Mnam , outputFail);


    }

Or you could use reflection to do it :

System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name;
