putting current executing code in a textbox

na....it was for an example app.  I wanted a way to load the
executing
code into a textbox to show the user what was happening for
each button
click.  I know....a waste of time

All you will *ever* get is the IL and information about
loaded types,
etc
To actually get code you will then have to decompile this IL
to the
language of your choice..but even then if you have compiled
in Release
mode the code you get will not necessarily reflect the
original source
code (if you can decompile it to C#/VB at all).  Even if it
did,
variable names will be lost, etc

With all this in mind, your efforts will probably not give
you the
results you are after.

What do you actually need it for?

Is it just a debugging tool? If so, what's wrong with
attaching a
debugger at the appropriate point?
