Possible to determine if a method is called by a derived class or directly as itself? C#

Question

Is there any direct way to determine if a method in a base class (not an abstract) is called by a derived class or explicitly from somewhere that has created an instance of base class?

Answer 1

The simplest method is to use reflection:

public virtual void MyBaseClassMethod()
{
    var currType = this.GetType();
    if (currType == typeof(MyBaseClass))
    { 
        // base class instantiated directly.
    }
}
