How to get the current ASP.NET core controller method name inside the controller using Reflection or another accurate method

Question

I want to get the current method name of my ASP.NET Core controller

I have tried getting the method name through reflection:

    [HttpGet]
         


        

Answer 1

The C# 5.0 CallerMemberName attribute may do the trick. (I haven't tested this from an async method; it works from a regular call)

private static string GetCallerMemberName([CallerMemberName]string name = "")
{
    return name;
}

Then call it from your code:

[HttpGet]
public async Task CreateProcess(int catId)
{
    string methodName = GetCallerMemberName();

Note that you don't need to pass anything to the method.
