Linenumber for Exception thrown in runtime-compiled DotNET code
- by David Rutten
Not quite the same as this thread, but pretty close.
My program allows people to enter some VB or C# code which gets compiled, loaded and executed at runtime. My CompilerParams are:
CompilerParameters params = new CompilerParameters();
params.GenerateExecutable = false;
params.GenerateInMemory = true;
params.IncludeDebugInformation = false;
params.TreatWarningsAsErrors = false;
params.WarningLevel = 4;
When this code throws an exception I'd like to be able to display a message box that helps users debug their code. The exception message is easy, but the line-number is where I got stuck.
I suspect that in order to get at the line number, I may need to drastically change the CompilerParameters and perhaps even the way these dlls get stored/loaded.
Does anyone know the least steps needed to get this to work?
