Hi!

Is there a way in VB.NET to determine the caller's class name?

System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod.GetType basically telling
me what is my current executing class, but I wanted to know, which
caller class invoke my existing class method.

Any help is much appreciated.

\\\
Dim stack As New StackTrace
Dim className As String

className = stack.GetFrame(1).GetMethod.DeclaringType.Name
///

The StackTrace object will contain details about the current call stack. The
first element in the collection (element zero) will be your own current
method, elements with higher indices will be the methods further up the
call-stack. As the code that calls you will always be the second element on
the call stack, you can access it using stack.GetFrame(1).
