Question

I use the following code to get the StackFrame in case of an error:

System.Diagnostics.StackTrace stackTrace = new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace(true);
System.Diagnostics.StackFrame stackFrame = stackTrace.GetFrame(stackFrameIndex);

Now my problem is that I don’t get line number or filename information. The stackFrame contains something like this:

stackFrame  {GetSetting at offset 288 in file:line:column **<filename unknown>:0:0**}

Even when debugging. How can I get that information?

Answer 1

If you wrote some code for SP that has to reside in the GAC, you need to put the PDBs in %systemroot%\symbols\dll. Then, you should get better debug information.
