How to get the source file name and the line number of a type member?

Question

Considering that the debug data file is available (PDB) and by using either System.Reflection or another similar framework such as Mono.Cecil

Answer 1

you might find some help with these links:

Getting file and line numbers without deploying the PDB files also found this following post

"Hi Mark,

The following will give you the line number of your code (in the source file):

Dim CurrentStack As System.Diagnostics.StackTrace
MsgBox (CurrentStack.GetFrame(0).GetFileLineNumber)

In case you're interested, you can find out about the routine that you're in, as well as all its callers.

Public Function MeAndMyCaller As String
    Dim CurrentStack As New System.Diagnostics.StackTrace
    Dim Myself As String = CurrentStack.GetFrame(0).GetMethod.Name
    Dim MyCaller As String = CurrentStack.GetFrame(1).GetMethod.Name
    Return "In " & Myself & vbCrLf & "Called by " & MyCaller
End Function

This can be very handy if you want a generalised error routine because it can get the name of the caller (which would be where the error occurred).
