C# Exceptions Not Giving Line Numbers

Tags:

c#

I am using C# having come from a Java background - I have an exception but it does not tell me the line number - Just the method name.

Is that usual?? Is it down to Debug / Release builds??

Line numbers should be available when compiling in Debug as long as you keep the pdb files in the application directory.

This will also work in Release if you enable PDB creation, as per Justin's answer.

If you are interested, more information can be found at PDB Files (MSDN)

This is down to debug symbols not being available - when you build your project make sure that you have "full" set in the debug settings (Project properties -> Build -> Advanced -> Debug info) and also make sure that the resulting pdb files are present alongside the assmebly in the same directory when you are running your app.
