Method name inside method-config.xml

Is there a way to get the executing method name from method-config.xml? When I inspect the variables in method-config using a debugger I cannot see the real method name anywhere. Some variables I thought it might be are
  • $(clsname) - But this is something like CLS_F30C56EA157005D90F6DC0EAA0167D9B (not a GUID from the database)
  • $(fncname) - Usually it is 'FNCMethod' and I don't know what it means.
  I would like to get the method name (Aras database method name) from the method-config executing context, is that possible? Is there any detailed documentation of the content of method-config?

    Hi Denchy, Were you able to figure out how to find the method name? If you're still working on this, I'd recommend looking into the inItem object. Maybe there is a way to access the method name from there? The only documentation I know of that references the method templates in method-config.xml is the section of the Programmer's Guide that demonstrates how to reference custom dlls. Aras Support may be able to offer more information on method-config.xml. Eli

    I've been looking into this as well. You can sometimes use GetType() on the EventData, or $(EventDataClass) but it usually only works for some of the events (OnAfterAdd for instance). Doesn't seem like there's a lot of information about the server events themselves.
