The below program does this, but you have to be in debug mode. Else some of the StackTrace is actually missing and the StackFrame only returns the entry point of the executable. Kind of strange I'd say.

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;

public class PaganGod {
public void MyMethod() {
B b = new B();
b.WhoCreatedMe();
}
}

public class A {
public void MyMethod() {
B b = new B();
b.WhoCreatedMe();
}

private static void Main(string[] args) {
A a = new A();
a.MyMethod();

PaganGod pg = new PaganGod();
pg.MyMethod();
}
}

public class B {
private Type god_the_creator;

public B() {
StackFrame god_frame = new StackFrame(1);
god_the_creator = god_frame.GetMethod().DeclaringType;
}

public void WhoCreatedMe() {
Console.WriteLine(god_the_creator.ToString());
}
}

If you plan on referencing the calling class, then it would be much better to pass in a reference to it in the constructor of your class then try to figure out something with reflection.
