            MethodBase method = frame.GetMethod();
            Console.WriteLine(">>>" + method.DeclaringType.FullName + "->" + method.ToString());

        {
            StackTrace callStack = new StackTrace();
            StackFrame frame = callStack.GetFrame(1);
            MethodBase method = frame.GetMethod();
            Console.WriteLine("<<<" + method.DeclaringType.FullName + "->" + method.ToString());

StackTrace – This is an order collection of StackFrames. StackTrace.GetFrame(int index) retrieves corresponding stack frame. This class is in the System.Diagnostics namespace.

StackFrame – This class provides the stack frame information. This class contains couple of useful diagnostics information like, GetFileName, GetFileLineNumber, GetMethod and etc..

StackFrame.GetMethod() –This method retrieves MethodBase instance.

MethodBase – This class provides information about methods and constructor. This class is in the System.Reflection namespace. The DeclaringType property gives the class that declares this method.
