Is it possible to get the name method of that calls another method?

This is what I am talking about:

Public Shared Sub Test1()
    Test2()
End Sub

Public Shared Sub Test2()
    MsgBox(Test2.LastMethod) ' Test1
End Sub

I would imagine if this is possible, System.Reflection will be utilized?

Any thoughts?

This question should help:
Can you use reflection to find the name of the currently executing method?

Be careful how you do this. If your method is JIT-inlined you might see the wrong method.

Dim stackFrame As New Diagnostics.StackFrame(1)
stackFrame.GetMethod.Name.toString() & stackFrame.GetMethod.DeclaringType.FullName.tostring()

Should give you the full name.

Look at the System.Diagnostics.StackFrame class.

 StackFrame frame = new StackFrame(1);
 MethodBase method = frame.GetMethod();
 Console.WriteLine(method.Name);

As a side note you shouldn't depend on who you caller is and shouldn't use this unless you are writing a debugger or for logging purposes.
