How to trace the method call path?

[Krishnaraj Barvathaya B]

Hi, I have a task of understanding a particular vendor software product and re-engineer it for some custom purpose. Right now I am not able to find where the stored procedures are getting invoked, in the sense which method is calling it. Even I don’t know is there any referenced dll is invoking the stored procedure. I have an utility which can generate code from assembly. So I can debug it. Now my question is, Is there any way I can trace the method call path from the UI button click till the stored procedure is getting invoked. If my question is not clear, please let me know. I will elaborate it more. Thanks in advance.

You might want to take a look at CLR Profiler. It traces paths of running code - it won't tell you exactly where something is called, but it will give you a fair starting point.

Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
