Using log4net, the following code example has always (that I’ve paid attention to) successfully written the method name to the log:<\/p>\n

CODE:
\ncatch (Exception ex)<\/b><\/span>
\n{<\/b><\/span>
\n  globalMgr.Logger.Debug($”Exception thrown in  {MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name} {ex.Message}  {ex.StackTrace} “);<\/b><\/span>
\n  return StatusCode(StatusCodes.Status500InternalServerError, ex.Message);<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

LOG TEXT:
\nStarting HttpClient in GetStoreData()<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Lately, however, the method base is logged as “MoveNext.”<\/p>\n

LOG TEXT:
\nStarting HttpClient in MoveNext<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The reason for this is that I’m placing the GetCurrentMethod call inside an async method.   Therefore, the final method that the code lives is indeed in “MoveNext.”  <\/p>\n

If I don’t get back with a solution soon enough, hard-code your method names into the logging but do not tell anyone I told you to do such a thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
