Find Invoker Method Name

I have a structure like below:

public class BaseClass
{
    public string SendError(string Message){

         //which method called me

         return Message;

    }
}


public class TypeAClass : BaseClass
{
    public static TypeAClass Instance { get; set;}

    public void TestToTest()
    {
         SendError("Test Message");
    }
}

Can I get the method name that calls the SendError() in the SendError method. For example, in this scenario it should give me the name TestToTest()

From the answer of the duplicate question:

using System.Diagnostics;
// get call stack
StackTrace stackTrace = new StackTrace();

// get calling method name
Console.WriteLine(stackTrace.GetFrame(1).GetMethod().Name);

Or more brief:

new StackTrace().GetFrame(1).GetMethod().Name

StackFrame caller = (new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace()).GetFrame(0);
string methodName = caller.GetMethod().Name;

This is a feature of C# 5:

You can declare a parameter of a function as a caller info:

public string SendError(string Message, [CallerMemberName] string callerName = "")
{
    Console.WriteLine(callerName + "called me.");
}

Try this

StackTrace stackTrace = new StackTrace();
String callingMethodName = stackTrace.GetFrame(1).GetMethod().Name;
