I am not a fan of hard-coding method names in exception or trace messages.  Here is a utility method to allow access to method name at runtime:

public static void TraceContext(string messageFormat)
{
    Trace.WriteLine(string.Format(messageFormat, 
        new System.Diagnostics.StackFrame(1).GetMethod().Name));
}

If I call the method above from inside another method:

protected void Application_AuthorizeRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Tools.TraceContext("Inside of {0} event handler");
}

The resulting output is: 

"Inside of Application_AuthorizeRequest event handler"
