Obtaining Run Time error line number

[Al]

Hi,

I am seeking to obtain the line number of an error once
deployed with out inserting line numbers in the method.
The IDE inserts line numbers but this function does not
appear to be a deployment option. Without entering a line
number eg.(10210:) in the code erl and e.tostring do not
indicate the line on which the error occured. Inserting
line numbers appeares to insert no-ops into the code when
it is stepped through in the IDE. Is there something I
am missing on this or do I need to insert line numbers
for run time reporting like VB6

Thanks
Al

Use the Debug.writeline method to give you runtime information. This will
print in the output window of the debugger.
Debug.Writeline("I'm printout out a statement now")

Hi,

My concern is once the product is deployed thus the
IDE/Debugger is not in use. I do not want to insert
anything into the code manualy but would still like to
get line numbers :)

Hi Al,

Line numbers are only available in .NET 1.1 and also only when compiled
for debug. Would you be happy deploying a debug version?

Write the errors to a log file then

Then you'll have to insert the line numbers before compiling. Maybe you
can write an add-in to automate that, but IMO that's not a goof idea
because it will reduce performance.

Yeah, true but I thought this was for debugging purposes ?

OHM.

I think it should be part of an error reporting system with the release
version of the application. Getting the line numbers with the
'StackTrace' won't work in an application that is compiled in Release
mode, so I wouldn't use it in a distribution. Maybe it's better to add
custom error handling code or line numbers by hand on critical places in
the sourcecode.
