try-catch

My code looks as below.

        try
        {
            _productRepo.GetAllProductCategories();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            //Do Something
        }

I need a way to show the method name, suppose in the above case if any exception is thrown in the GetAllProductCategories() method, I need to get this method name i.e. "GetAllProductCategories()" as my result. Can any one suggest me how to do this?

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language.

I'm looking at some code in an application of ours and came across something a little odd from what I normally do.
