Determining a caller of the setter in C# properties

Question

I'm working on a very legacy code, here coupling is on the GOD level. So somehow I need to get the name of the caller which called the property setter.

I've really invested my time to find a solution, I've tried stack frames also to get the name of the method. From this answer

For example

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("orOperatorAppendixed", Form = XmlSchemaForm.Qualified)]
        public bool OrOperatorAppendixed
        {
            get { return orOperatorAppendixed; }
            set
            {

                StackTrace stackTrace = new StackTrace();           // get call stack
                StackFrame[] stackFrames = stackTrace.GetFrames();  // get method calls (frames)

                // write call stack method names
                foreach (StackFrame stackFrame in stackFrames)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(stackFrame.GetMethod().Name);   // write method name
                }
                orOperatorAppendixed = value;

            }
        }

When someone calls that setter, console messages looks like that

set_OrOperatorAppendixed
Read52_Condition
Read53_Alarm
Read77_Pip
Read152_Window
Read152_Window
Read159_Layout
Read160_layout
InvokeMethod
UnsafeInvokeInternal
Invoke
InvokeReader
Deserialize
Deserialize
FromXml
layoutReceived
processData
dataReceived
dataReceived
Complete
CompleteCallback
RunInternal
Run
Run
Complete
ProtectedInvokeCallback
CompletionPortCallback
PerformIOCompletionCallback

Basically, I think these method names are runtime level methods. So what I want to say is that I want the caller name of the function in my project, especially the method which was written by developers of that project which is calling that property setter.

Also, I've read about [CallerMemberName]string callername=" ", but you need to path CallerMemberName as a parameter and I have property, so I can't do it.

So I hope you understand what is my core problem. Maybe there is some way to solve my problem.

Thank you

No, what's the problem? The caller is `Read52_Condition`, as obtained through `new StackTrace().GetFrames()[1].GetMethod().Name`. — CodeCaster, Feb 06 '19 at 10:10
Take first frame only, now you are unfolding complete call stack... — Johnny, Feb 06 '19 at 10:12
If you are in visual studio, I think you can right click on the "set" and use the "Find usages" function. (this might be som resharper stuff) — Moddaman, Feb 06 '19 at 10:19
@JBRWilkinson It has called in many times trust me. I just point to check it one moment, debug is hard to do this. — Tornike Gomareli, Feb 06 '19 at 11:26
@CodeCaster when im trying to get only last method, name returning string like this "InvokeMethod", that doesn't help me very well — Tornike Gomareli, Feb 06 '19 at 11:26
@Johnny first frame is also unredeable, InvokeMethod. That doesnt telling anything — Tornike Gomareli, Feb 06 '19 at 11:27
