Print Stack Trace in Output Window

Question

C#, WinForms: Is there a way I can see which methods are calling a specific method? well I can put a break point and see the call stack, but this one is UI related and it is a DoubleClick event, so I thought it will be helpful if something similar to Debug.Writeline(....) can also print call stack on a method so I could write it at the beginning of my method and see ok this time it is cvalled from this method, this time from that method, etc...

Instead of printing debug messages, you could just put your cursor on the method name and press Shift+F12 (Edit.FindAllReferences)... — Timwi

yes but it does not mean all of those methods are calling my method in that specific execution path. Envirnoment.StrackTrace answer is correct. — Bohn

Use the Environment.StackTrace property.

What you are looking for is System.Diagnostics.StackTrace. You simply create a new instance at the point where you want to look at the stack.

Beware, though, that creating a stack trace is very expensive.
