Get module name and line number with exception?

[Chris Botha]

Using VB, how can I get the module name/class name, and source file line
number when an exception is thrown?

Thanks.

I should have googled first - found it.

I would create a custom exception with properties that contain those
values, or display the values in the exception message or inner
exception.

Get module name and line number with exception?

see:

[StackFrame Members (System.Diagnostics)]
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.stackframe_members.aspx
-> GetMethod, GetFileName, GetFileLineNumber, GetFileColumnNumber

be aware, that the information is typically extracted from the *debugging*
symbols.
