How can I get the parameters of any function through reflection

I'm would like to find a way to get the parameters of a function or method through reflection so I can pass those objects to a function that will go through each of the properties and log them.

If you don't have an answer for the way I've described, partial answers are ok as well.
Thanks.

public class mypage
{
     public void MyFunctionExampleOne(string username, datetime loginTime)
     {
          myUtil.LogParameters(this);  //not sure if "this" is even the right thing to pass
     }
 
     public void MyFunctionExampleTwo(string username, CustomObjType customBusinessObject , int primaryKey)
     {
          myUtil.LogParameters(this);  //not sure if "this" is even the right thing to pass
     }
 
}
 
public class myUtil
{
     public static LogParameters(object this)
    {
         //get parameters of current function
         List<objects> currrentParameters = getParameters();  //how could you do this?
 
 
        //in the first example currentparameters would hold 2 items.  
       //the first item would be the username and second would be the logindate
 
 
        //in the second example currentparameters would hold 3 items.  
       //the first item would be the username
       // the second would be the custom business object
       //the third would be the primary key.
 
 
       //here is where i would use reflection to log the values of the parameters
       myUtil.LogParameters(currentParameters);
    }
}
