Hi,

Could I write a code that will get the method name within which the
code is written.
like I want

void showMethodName(){
string method;
method=Need a method here to get the method name which contains this
code. In this case it is "showMethodName"
}

Thanks

Ciaran showed you a way, but it should be noted that this is quite
expensive, and should almost always be avoided.
