Is there a way to get caller environment variables from Reflection?USERNAME and COMPUTERNAME) from a calling method in my (receiving) library. So far I know how to get the method name, the class name and even the file path of the calling method. I also know how to get the line number where the call was made to my program from the other one, but I also need to log the userName and the computerName running the method that called mine. Is there a way to do that? The reason I am doing this is that I am trying to convert an existing Perl module that we have been using to C# (2.0). The Perl code in the calling app is a simple one line statement: use usageTracker(); I have something similar for the C# version: using (UsageTracker ut = new UsageTracker()) {} In the UsageTracker library, I use Reflection.MethodBase and StackFrame to get the filepath of the calling program, the class name, and the method name. I can also get the line number where the using statement is being placed in the calling program. As I said I am just lacking the userName of the user executing the code that calls mine, and the machine name where the code is running. We use this information to track usage of various tools we produce. I hope there is a way to do this at runtime, if so please let me know Thanks -SteveM Sigh!
Nevermind It appears that my brain is a bit on the fritz, for some reason I was thinking that the library that I am using (UsageTracker()) would behave differently if it was on another machine (such is in the case of a Perl module) What I didnt take into consideration (its late friday afternoon what can I say :P) is that the dll gets copied to the application that references it, and that by simply using the GetEnvironementVariable() in my library code whoever is calling my code will reveal their username and hostname via that call..... Just wasnt thinking clearly here.. sorry :-( -SteveM Show quote On Feb 23, 1:41 pm, "SteveM" <steve.mo***@philips.com> wrote: > I am needing to get the environment variables (or at the very least > USERNAME and COMPUTERNAME) from a calling method in my (receiving) > library.
