Reflection: Determining a Method's Attributes from within the Method

[Good Enchiladas]

Is it possible to determine a method's own attributes from within the method
without hardcoding the name of the method as a constant within the method?
Please tell me if it is possible and how it is done.

Thank you,
Kelly

Presumably you're talking about .NET development, since native C++ has no
reflection abilities.

In .NET development, you can use the System::Environment::StackTrace
property to get a stack trace of the current execution context as a string,
and then parse the full class name, method name and parameters from that
string.

If there's a more direct way, I don't know it - but I wouldn't be surprised
if there is!

Hi Carl,

Actually, there is :)

Just use the GetCurrentMethod() static method of the
System::Reflection::MethodBase class.

I *knew* it was there somewhere! Just couldn't find it in the mass of .NET
classes.
