Environment::StackTrace Property

.NET Framework (current version)
 

Gets current stack trace information.

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

C#
C++
F#
VB
Copy 
public:
property String^ StackTrace {
	static String^ get();
}

Property Value

Type: System::String^

A string containing stack trace information. This value can be String::Empty.

The StackTrace property lists method calls in reverse chronological order, that is, the most recent method call is described first, and one line of stack trace information is listed for each method call on the stack. However, the StackTrace property might not report as many method calls as expected due to code transformations that occur during optimization.

System_CAPS_noteNote

For a hierarchical view of the stack trace information by class, use the StackTrace class.

The StackTrace property formats the stack trace information for each method call as follows:

"at FullClassName.MethodName(MethodParams) in FileName :line LineNumber "

The literal "at" is preceded by three spaces, and the entire substring starting with "in" is omitted if debug symbols are not available. The placeholders, FullClassName, MethodName, MethodParams, FileName, and LineNumber, are replaced by actual values, and are defined as follows:

FullClassName

The full name of the class, including the namespace.

MethodName

The name of the method.

MethodParams

The list of parameter type/name pairs. Each pair is separated by a comma (","). This information is omitted if MethodName takes no parameters.

FileName

The name of the source file where the MethodName method is declared. This information is omitted if debug symbols are not available.

LineNumber

The number of the line in FileName that contains the source code from MethodName for the instruction that is on the call stack. This information is omitted if debug symbols are not available.

The Environment::NewLine string terminates each line of the stack trace.

The following example demonstrates the StackTrace property.

C#
C++
VB
Copy 
// Sample for the Environment::StackTrace property
using namespace System;
int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine();
   Console::WriteLine( "StackTrace: ' {0}'", Environment::StackTrace );
}

/*
This example produces the following results:

StackTrace: '   at System::Environment::GetStackTrace(Exception e)
at System::Environment::GetStackTrace(Exception e)
at System::Environment::get_StackTrace()
at Sample::Main()'
*/

EnvironmentPermission
