|--------|----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
| result | `String</api/data_types/string>` | The name of the method or event that contains the constant. |

## Notes

Returns `String</api/data_types/string>`.

You can use this for logging purposes to identify methods that were called and code that was run.

The <span class="title-ref">CurrentMethodName</span> constant automatically contains the fully-qualified name of the method or event that contains the constant. It is equivalent to a manual declaration such as

``` xojo
Const CurrentMethodName = "methodName"
```

Where methodName is the fully-qualified name. For example, if you create a method on Window1, "MyMethod," then <span class="title-ref">CurrentMethodName</span> will equal "Window1.MyMethod".

## Sample code

This logs the method name when it runs:

``` xojo
System.DebugLog("MyApp: " + CurrentMethodName)
```
