C# version of C predefined macros __LINE__

Is there an equivalent to the C predefined macros of __FILE__
and __LINE__.

in C I could do report do something like this:

errLog(__FILE__, __LINE__);

This was very useful in determining unusual behavior.

Thanks

   {
      ReportError("This is an error description");
   }

   private void ReportError()
   {
      StackFrame CallStack = new StackFrame(1, true);

      // This will report the line number and file name of the original ReportError call!
      MyWriteToLog("Error: " + Message + ", File: " + CallStack.GetFileName() + ", Line: " + CallStack.GetFileLineNumber());
   }

   private void MyWriteToLog(string LogMessage)
   {
      // Write LogMessage to some persistent log
   }
}

This suggestion is done at runtime not at compile time

Also I do not think that this will operate correctly if not in debug mode.

The thread that was recommended makes the same points.
