Getting parameters to method calls in a stack tract

[Codex]

I am using Visual Studio 2003. When an exception trown (and trapped
by a try statement) in a managed language (say, C#), I'd like to get
the values sent to all the parameters in the stack trace. So, for
example, if the error is something like:

ERROR: The program has performed the following error: Error in
foobar2: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at method2(string x, int z)
at method3(ArrayLi st q, float t)

I'd like to figure out what x, z, q, and t were in the catch clause.

I know you can do this in the debugger, but I need to find get this
information when an exception is thrown while the program is running
on a client machine and not in the development environment (remote
debugging is not an option).

Thanks,
Codex

You can't, unless you're running in the debugger and using the
debugging APIs.

When running, the values may no longer be considered "live" - for
instance, the ArrayList may have been garbage collected by the time
your exception is thrown.
