1. Sub
    2. Function
    3. Method
    4. Class
    5. Form
    6. Module
    7. etc

during runtime, while executing code within that area.  The name will be
used for internal and reporting purposes.

How can we do this?

sln

Some things you can do with reflection.

Search for "reflection" in the Web

Can anyone help?

sln

dim currentStack as string

currentStack = System.Environment.StackTrace

Jerry is right. We can do this by using the Reflection mechanism in .NET.
Fortunately, .NET provides you with a handy class called MethodBase. It
gives you entries to get the information about a method at runtime. You can
also retrieve the information about the class that declares the method by
using the DeclaringType method on the MethodBase instance. It returns a
Type object, with which you get all kinds of information about the type and
the assembly that contains this type as well.

For more information about the class MethodBase, please refer to the MSDN
documentation.

understand
