Examples

This example uses the My.Application.Info.StackTrace property to display the stack trace of the application from the point at which the code executes.

MsgBox("Stack trace: " & My.Application.Info.StackTrace)

Remarks

The My.Application.Info.StackTrace property lists method calls in reverse chronological order - that is, it describes the most recent method call first, and it lists each method call on the stack on a separate line. However, the My.Application.Info.StackTrace property might not report as many method calls as expected, due to code transformations that occur during optimization.

Typically, the stack-trace information is used for debugging applications.

The stack-trace information for each method call is formatted as follows:

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

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

Part	Description
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 zero 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 My.Applicaiton.Info.StackTrace property provides functionality similar to the StackTrace property.
