Reflection, line numbers & filenames

[James Cohen]

Hi,

I hope somebody can help me out, Im looking for a way to retreive the
original filename & line number of a Reflection.Memb erInfo instance. Ill
provide some background on what it is that im doing:

I have an attribute defined as follows:

[AttributeUsage( AttributeTarget s.Class | AttributeTarget s.Constructor |
AttributeTarget s.Enum | AttributeTarget s.Interface | AttributeTarget s.Method
| AttributeTarget s.Property | AttributeTarget s.Struct,AllowM ultiple=true)]
public class CodeAttribute : Attribute
....

This attribute is a base for a few others, but that is not important. The
important part is that derivatives of this attrtibute can be attached to
almost all elements within code.

I am using reflection to recursively look for these attributes on items in
an assembly, when one is found some business logic takes place, and the end
result is that events are raised to the client application. This event
contains an instance of Reflection.Memb erInfo (so that would be a Type,
ConstructorInfo , MethodInfo - all derivatives of MemberInfo).

What I really need is the original filename (c:\path\file.c s) and line
number of that MemberInfo. as I am adding results of the events to the
VS.NET tasklist. I understand that this could only possible with pdb output,
and that is no problem for me whatsoever.

I have managed to do this, but in an entirely unacceptable way. I achieved
this by using EnvDTE to write a Solution wrapper class which looked through
the code in the IDE and stored each class/method/property etc in a type-safe
collection. I then developed the hack of all hacks to convert a
MemberInfo --> formetted string --> lookup Solution wrapper.

What i'd like is a way to use StackTrace or StackFrame for this, so far ive
only found examples of getting line number and file for exceptions.

TIA
