Hi guys,

How do I get the full name of the current (overload) function or sub
(whatever it be) ?

Sub SomeFunction()

Dim FullNameOfThisFunction = ???
msgbox(FullNameOfThisFunction )

end sub

Thanks Phill . Very helpful.
I would also need the name of the caller. Is it simple to get ?

Sub Caller
              me.CalledBy()
end sub

Sub CalledBy()
              Dim FullNameOfCallerSub = ?????
              msgbox(FullNameOfCallerSub)
end sub

Pamela,

You can use the System.Diagnostics.StackTrace &
System.Diagnostics.StackFrame classes.

        Dim trace As New StackTrace()
        Dim caller As StackFrame = trace.GetFrame(1)
        Debug.WriteLine(caller.GetMethod(), "caller")
