Reflection Related Quesitons

[Hayato Iriumi]

(1) Can custom attribute be assigned to a class (or other elements) at
runtime? I tried to use MethodInfo to do that, but it doesn't seem to be
possible...

(2) Can I get the name of the method that is currently running? The example
follows...

Sub MyMethod()
Dim strMethodName As String = System.Reflection.Assembly.blahblah...
Console.WriteLine("The name of the method that is currently runnning is
{0}",strMethodName)
End Sub

TIA

Only to types dynamicly created with Reflection Emit, not existing
compiled code.

System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name

I'm not really sure I understand what you'd do this for. Could you give a hint as to what you're trying to accomplish here


Either of these will get you the name of the currently executing method

new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace().GetFrame(0).GetMethod().Name
System.Reflection.MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod().Name

Say, the values I want to asssign to the attribute are stored in
database...
