Using System.Reflection to obtain parameter values dynamically

[NewsBot]

I'm trying to come up with some code that I can use to add INFO level tracing to my DAL and BL code.* So far, I'm able to obtain plenty of metadata about the functions, but not the actual parameter values:

 

StringBuilder sb = newStringBuilder();

sb.Append(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod());

ParameterInfo [] ParameterInfos = System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().GetParameters();

foreach (ParameterInfo ParameterInfo in ParameterInfos)

sb.Append(" ").Append(ParameterInfo.Name).Append(" {").Append(ParameterInfo).Append("}");

TraceLog.Info(sb.ToString());

 

 

 

this will output the metadata about the parameters, but not the actual values.* For example, it will show me that the value is an Int32, but not that the value is 3.

 

I know that this is doable, but I can't seem to pick the right combination of words, punctuation, and secret masonic dances required to get Google to return a clue.

 

Any clues?

 

Edit: oh, and what the heck is the 'code' tag on C9 again?
