c# defined variables in a method as a list - is it possible?

Question

In php, you can get the method's defined variables as an array:

function test($a,$b){
  print_r(
       get_defined_vars()
  );
}

Is it possible in C#?

Answer 1

You can use reflection for this.

If you want to do this inline, then you first need to determine the method you are currently in.

var currentMethod = System.Reflection.MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod();

Then you can retrieve the parameters of that method:

foreach(ParameterInfo parameter in currentMethod.GetParameters())
{
    var name = parameter.Name;
    //...
}

Answer 2

Something like...

string a = "hello";
int b = 20;
DateTime c = DateTime.Now;

foreach (LocalVariableInfo variable in MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod().GetMethodBody().LocalVariables)
{
    Console.WriteLine(variable);
}
