Hi,

I am trying to write some error handling code to log the error.
But getting the line number of the error is not simple.

Is it because the app is set to "Release" and does not have debug info.

Is there a way of getting the line number when in release mode?????

Thanks

I don't know of a way.  However, you could manually insert line numbers for
debugging purposes:

This works under 2003, I haven't loaded 2005 yet.

Menu
  Project -> Properties

Set Configuration to Release
  Conifiguration Properties -> Build
  Check "Generate Debugging Information"

You will need to include the generated ".pdb" file with your
application. I haven't noticed any speed decrease.

Your error handler code can include ex.stacktrace in a message box,
which is fantastic for finding an offending line of code, and how it
got there.

Supposedly the Release configuration should not generate a .pdb file since
at that point the app should have been tested (using the Debug
configuration). If you want line numbers at Release configuration without
the .pdb file you have to add them to the code and use the Erl function
(like in VB6). My add-in has a feature to add line numbers to the code.
