.NET Framework Class Library
StackFrame Class

Updated: May 2009

Provides information about a StackFrame, which represents a function call on the call stack for the current thread.

Namespace:  System.Diagnostics
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
<SerializableAttribute> _
<ComVisibleAttribute(True)> _

Public Class StackFrame
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As StackFrame
C#
[SerializableAttribute]
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
[SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, UnmanagedCode = true)]
public class StackFrame
Visual C++
[SerializableAttribute]
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
[SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction::InheritanceDemand, UnmanagedCode = true)]
public ref class StackFrame
JScript
public class StackFrame
Remarks

A StackFrame is created and pushed on the call stack for every function call made during the execution of a thread. The stack frame always includes MethodBase information, and optionally includes file name, line number, and column number information.

StackFrame information will be most informative with Debug build configurations. By default, Debug builds include debug symbols, while Release builds do not. The debug symbols contain most of the file, method name, line number, and column information used in constructing StackFrame objects.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the use of the StackFrame class to provide the stack frame information for a stack trace.
