Hi,

How do i get the line number of the calling method in debug-mode.
This is what i do:

StackTrace st = new StackTrace();
string s = string.Format("Method:{0}, line:{1}",
st.GetFrame(1).GetMethod(), "??");


This method gets the callers function name, but i don't know how to get the
line number.
Is it possible to get the same line number as shown in Visual Studio ??

Thank you in advance.
BR
Peter
 
Hi Peter,

Yes, StackFrame.GetFileLineNumber() method should meet your need. Please
note that source code line information is only contained in the private
debugging symbol files instead of the .Net assembly. This means that your
application must always generate the PDB symbol file so that
StackFrame.GetFileLineNumber() method can retrieve source line information.
Normally, this should not be a problem in debug-mode, since debug-mode
generates PDB symbol files by default.

Furthermore, debug-mode does not equally mean the PDB symbol files. We can
also configure the VS compiler/linker to generate the PDB symbol files in
release build. This allows your application to use
StackFrame.GetFileLineNumber() method in release mode.

If you have anything unclear, please feel free to feedback, thanks.
