Determine Calling Object Type in C#

Question

Regardless of whether or not this is a good idea, is it possible to implement an interface where the executing function is aware of the calling object\'s type?

Answer 1

You could use the System.Diagnostics.StackTrace class to create a stack trace. Then you could look for the StackFrame that is associated with the caller. The StackFrame has a Method property that you can use to get to the type of the caller.

However, the above method is nothing that should be used in performance critical code.
