StackTrace and StackFrame

[C# beginner]

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.

Was the code that is throwing the exception compiled in debug mode? Are the
debug symbols in the same directory?

Hi,


Are you running it from the IDE?
If not are you sure that the symbols file are present ?
These are named similar to the assembly but with a pdb extension.

Cheers,

I am not running from the IDE. I have placed my C#
assembly in the GAC. So should the pdb file also lie in
the GAC? Thanks a lot for your help.

Yes the code is built in debug mode. I have placed my C#
