I am using the following line of code to get the method name.

stackTrace = new StackTrace().GetFrame(0).GetMethod().ReflectedType.Name;

The method is a test named

public async Task IpToCountryMapping_ValidIPs_ShouldSucceedMapping

The

stackTrace

value returned is

"<IpToCountryMapping_ValidIPs_ShouldSucceedMapping>d__9"

Why I am getting result enclosed withing the <> and have d_9 at the end?

What I have tried:

Nothing apart from some search

And what happens if you use normal methods (not a test) ?

Solution 1

The "d" indicates it's an iterator, the "9" is just a sequence number and provides uniqueness to the return value. The bit in the "<" and ">" is the method name that the task is coming from.
