Firing an event everytime a new method is called

Question

I am making a logger for a c# application which needs to log the time when each method was called each method's execution time.

I can do this by calling my own EventLogger.LogMethodCall method at the start of every method, but I was wondering if there was a way to make the CLR fire an event every time a new method is called so I wouldn't have to manually call my method.

Thanks.

Try to look into PostSharp and Aspect Oriented Programming

I also need an introduction to AOP so I think that I will go with this one. Thanks. – Petkovsky Apr 23 '11 at 13:07

Perhaps you should use a profiler to get the information you need?

How Petkovsky describes it, it definitely sounds more like profiler than logger. – Euphoric Apr 23 '11 at 13:01
It is an assignment so I have to make it myself basically. – Petkovsky Apr 23 '11 at 13:08

I don't believe that can be done. Rather than write your own logger, may I recommend Log4Net?
