How get current method name in API application

Question

Hi All,
         I want to log the current method name to a database table in an API application. However, when I use the following code "System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name", I receive "MoveNext" instead of the Method name. 

Please let me know how we may obtain the right method name. According to the code below, I'm anticipating "Statuses" as the method name.

 [HttpGet("Statuses")]
        public async Task<IActionResult> GetPaymentStatuses()
        {
            
            string methodname=System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name.toString();
            logger.saveLog(token, GetType().Namespace, 1, methodname + "-Enter");
        }

Answer 1

In case of async, try a different approach:

string name = null;
for( int i = 0; name == null; ++i )
{
    StackFrame sf = new StackFrame( skipFrames: i, needFileInfo: false );
    HttpGetAttribute a = sf.GetMethod( ).GetCustomAttribute<HttpGetAttribute>( );
    name = a?.Template;
}

// name is "Statuses"

Answer 2

Try this:

MethodBase m = System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod( );
HttpGetAttribute a = m.GetCustomAttribute<HttpGetAttribute>( );
string name = a.Template;

I'm anticipating "Statuses" as the method name.

Statuses is an attribute route not a method name.

Routing in ASP.NET Core

Routing to controller actions in ASP.NET Core

[HttpGet("Statuses")]

It seems rather odd to fetch the route in the controller if the intent is to log the route. Middleware seems like a better approach.

app.Use(async (context, next) =>
{
    var url = context.Request.GetDisplayUrl();
    Microsoft.AspNetCore.Routing.RouteData route = context.GetRouteData();
    var endpoint = context.Features.Get<IEndpointFeature>().Endpoint;

    // Do work that can write to the Response.
    await next.Invoke();
    // Do logging or other work that doesn't write to the Response.
});
