Line numbers and method name for EventLog

[Claus Rathje]

Where do I find line numbers and source file information that I can
print to for example the EventLog, making it easier to debug errors?

See if the StackTrace and StackFrame classes can provide this information.

Does this help

Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Diagnostics

Class Class1
Public Sub myMethod()
Throw New Exception("exception thrown on purpose")
End Sub

End Class
Module Module1

Sub Main()

Dim mClass As New Class1
Try
mClass.myMethod()
Catch e As Exception
' Display file and line information, if available.
Dim sf As New StackFrame(True)
Dim st As New StackTrace(sf)

Console.WriteLine(" StackTrace: " & st.ToString())
Console.WriteLine(" Line Number : " &
st.GetFrame(0).GetFileLineNumber())
Console.WriteLine("-------------------------------------------------")
Console.WriteLine(e.StackTrace)
Console.WriteLine("-------------------------------------------------")
End Try

End Sub

End Module

Hi

Why not just use Exception.ToString(). Dose it all for you.
