Trace/Logging Question

[Richard]

Hi,

I would like to output the source code module name and line number in some of my Trace.Writeline () calls. The information that I need is in the Environment.Sta ckTrace string however I DO NOT want to issue a full stack trace and then parse a string every time I wish to Trace source code info!!!!!!!! For you ex-C++ now C# coders I wanna do something like this:

Trace.WriteLine (__FILE__ + "-" + __LINE__ + ": " + msg);

Is there a better way to get this info - say through reflection?? - without issuing a full stack trace every time I log information?

For extra credit does anybody know how to get the class & method name without issuing a full stack trace/parse????

Richard,

This will get you the current method and line number....

System.Diagnost ics.StackTrace stack = new System.Diagnost ics.StackTrace( );
System.Diagnost ics.StackFrame frame = stack.GetFrame( 0);
Console.WriteLi ne("method name: " + frame.GetMethod ().Name );
Console.WriteLi ne("line number: " + frame.GetFileLi neNumber() );

Hope this helps,

Here is another possibility...

string theGoodStuff = System.Reflecti on.MethodBase.G etCurrentMethod ().DeclaringTyp e.FullName.ToSt ring();

good luck,
