Conditional Breakpoints on Call Stack

Question

Is it possible to specify a breakpoint in Visual Studio 2010 that hits only if the calling methods up the call stack meet some specific condition? For example, and most likely, method name.

I am ideally looking for a solution in Visual Studio itself such as the conditional breakpoint, but I'll settle for testing method names up the stack in code and having a coded breakpoint.

What I'm trying to achieve is to cut out calls from a specific caller.

Answer 1

Right click the breakpoint, choose "Condition" and use something like this:

new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace().ToString().Contains("YourMethodName")

Answer 2

The StackTrace class should give you what you need.

StackTrace stackTrace = new StackTrace();           
StackFrame[] stackFrames = stackTrace.GetFrames();
