How do I get the calling method name and type using reflection?

public class SomeClass
{
    public void SomeMethod()
    {
        StackFrame frame = new StackFrame(1);
        var method = frame.GetMethod();
        var type = method.DeclaringType;
        var name = method.Name;
    }
}

Now let's say you have another class like this:

public class Caller
{
   public void Call()
   {
      SomeClass s = new SomeClass();
      s.SomeMethod();
   }
}

name will be "Call" and type will be "Caller".

UPDATE: Two years later since I'm still getting upvotes on this

In .NET 4.5 there is now a much easier way to do this. You can take advantage of the CallerMemberNameAttribute.

Going with the previous example:

public class SomeClass
{
    public void SomeMethod([CallerMemberName]string memberName = "")
    {
        Console.WriteLine(memberName); // Output will be the name of the calling method
    }
}

Yes, in principe it is possible, but it doesn't come for free.

You need to create a StackTrace, and then you can have a look at the StackFrame's of the call stack.

It's actually something that can be done using a combination of the current stack-trace data, and reflection.

public void MyMethod()
{
     StackTrace stackTrace = new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace();
     StackFrame frame = stackTrace.GetFrames()[1];
     MethodInfo method = frame.GetMethod();
     string methodName = method.Name;
     Type methodsClass = method.DeclaringType;
}

The 1 index on the StackFrame array will give you the method which called MyMethod

You can use it by using the StackTrace and then you can get reflective types from that.

StackTrace stackTrace = new StackTrace();           // get call stack
StackFrame[] stackFrames = stackTrace.GetFrames();  // get method calls (frames)

StackFrame callingFrame = stackFrames[1];
MethodInfo method = callingFrame.GetMethod();
Console.Write(method.Name);
Console.Write(method.DeclaringType.Name);
