StackTrace Property

StackTrace Property

Location

My.Application.Info.StackTrace

Syntax

     Dim result As String = My.Application.Info.StackTrace

Description

The StackTrace property returns the current stack trace information. The stack appears in order, from the closest procedure down to the original procedure, each on a separate text line.

Usage at a Glance

This property is read-only.
Some fields may be absent from the returned trace if debugging symbols have been excluded from the project build.
An exception is thrown if the stack trace is out of range or cannot be gathered from the current context.

Example

Creating a new Windows Forms project and adding the following code to Form1's source code:

     Public Class Form1        Private Sub Form1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _              ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Click           MsgBox(My.Application.Info.StackTrace)         End Sub     End Class

produced these results when clicking on the form (slightly formatted to fit this page):
