Getting the current procedure name?

  • Thread starter Thread starter rowe_newsgroups
  • Start date Start date
Here is one approach: Get the first frame of the stack trace.

Dim theStackTrace As New StackTrace(True)
Dim theMethod As String =
theStackTrace.GetFrame(0).GetMethod().ToString
MessageBox.Show(theMethod)

Place the code inside a method to see it get and display the method's
signature.
 
Hello,

is there any way to get the name of the current running procedure?

For example:

Public Sub Test( )
'do something
'...

'log activity (for example)
objLog.Write(Text := "bla bla bla", _
ProcName := dontKnowWhatIsThis.GetProcName() )
End Sub


Any possibility?

Cesar
 
That works fine for me. Thanks!

name.
I gave a look in the thread you wrote, also works good like the code MikeMc
wrote.

Thanks.

You may want to look at System.Reflection. IIRC, moduleinfo.
