Stack file information

[Guest]

I have posted a few messages in the last couple weeks
about my not being able to track down the file information
from the call stack.
The issue still remains. My C# assembly is in the GAC. I
have copied the pdb file manually to the GAC folder
C:\winnt\assembly. Still can't get the file name and file
line number info. I am getting a frame count of 4 though.
Can anyone please help me to fix this problem? BTW, thanks
everyone who has given suggestions to me to resolve the
issue. The suggestions were all very helpful.

StackTrace Trace = new StackTrace(true);

int Count = Trace.FrameCount;
StackFrame Frame = Trace.GetFrame(0);
String FileName = Frame.GetFileName();
int LineNumber = Frame.GetFileLineNumber();

Hi all
I posted this question a few days back. I am trying the
above code in my C# assembly. I get Count as 4. But no
matter how I try, I can't get the correct filename and
linenumber. They are always null and 0 respectively. Can
anyone help me resolve this issue?
I am using a debug build of my assembly.
Thanks a lot in advance for your replies.

Most likely its due to the location of the PDB file. ALthough the gac may be
centered in the assembly folder, if memory serves there is a complex mesh of
underlying folders, one of which your executable exists in. You *might* be
able to coyp the pdb to
c:\winnt\assembly\gac\<your.Assembly.Name>\<your.assembly.version>__<assembly
public key>\ which is where it seems the actual files are held, but I don't
know fi that will work.
