C# stack trace with variable values

[NavyIsland]

I have a winforms application that i am developing that needs to do some logging. In the event that we connect to our database we need to log a number of things one of which is a stacktrace just in case something goes wrong e.g.:

7/14/2020 10:02:31 AM
Success writing to the FM database, wrote PUDO request for the Edgebander
at System.Environment.GetStackTrace(Exception e, Boolean needFileInfo)
at System.Environment.get_StackTrace()

at System.Threading._IOCompletionCallback.PerformIOCompletionCallback(UInt32 errorCode, UInt32 numBytes, NativeOverlapped* pOVERLAP)

I am hoping to be able to get the values of the variables passed into the functions (specifically my functions). and be able to get something like this:

I don't care about values to or from code that is part of the .NET library. My code is very deterministic, as such knowing the variables if something fails will allow us to fix whatever issue may arise.

Any clue how to do this?
Is there some param i can pass into the stacktrace function to get these?
I have heard that System.Reflection might be useful, is that the case?


Thanks in advance,
Ben
