Normally, MethodBase.ReflectedType would have your info. But, according to MSDN StackFrame.GetMethod:

The method that is currently executing may be inherited from a base class, although it is called in a derived class. In this case, the ReflectedType property of the MethodBase object that is returned by GetMethod identifies the base class, not the derived class.

which means you're probably out of luck.
