in C++ we can use __FILE__ and __LINE__ to help us locating the bug, is
there anything like these in C# ?

thanks,

Hello wsq,

Unfortunatelly .NET have no similiar macros.
To get this functionality u have to use StackTrace class

Smth like this
using System;
using System.Diagnostics ;


namespace getline
{
class Class1
{
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
StackTrace st=new StackTrace (0,true);


StackFrame sf=new StackFrame ();
sf=st.GetFrame (0);
Console.WriteLine ("FileName: {0}",sf.GetFileName
());
Console.WriteLine ("Line Number:
{0}",sf.GetFileLineNumber ());
Console.WriteLine ("Function Name:
{0}",sf.GetMethod ());


Console.Read ();
}
}


}

Thank you, Michael, it works, but only in debug version. In release
version, GetFileName() always return zero. Am I missing something?

No, you're not. Release assemblies don't contain enough information to
relate a stack trace back to the precise source file name and line
number.

The only reason that this worked in C / C++ is that these were macros
that were resolved at compile time. C# resolves its file name and line
number information at run time, and so depends upon symbolic
information available (or not) at run time.
