System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod(); give ".ctor"

Question

Trying to add the Method Names to my reporting for clarity. I am using

    MethodBase m = System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod();

I then call

 m.Name

expecting to see the method name but instead in my reporting it calls ".ctor()"

Any advice on how to call the actual method name instead?

Are you calling it from a constructor? – Robert Horvick Aug 15 '16 at 13:49 — Robert Horvick, Aug 15 '16 at 13:49

ctor() is the default constructor for a class. That means you are calling GetCurrentMethod() while the class you are calling it from is still being constructed.

You might also want to get the class name (see here):

string className = MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType.Name;

Or that the code provided is a field in the class- the field initializer would be called during class construction. – Chris Shain Aug 15 '16 at 14:02
