Environment.StackTrace Property (System)

Property Value

The following example demonstrates the StackTrace property.

   // 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()'
   
    // Sample for the Environment.StackTrace property
using System;
class Sample
    public static void 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()'
    
     // Sample for the Environment.StackTrace property
open System
printfn $"\nStackTrace: '{Environment.StackTrace}'"
// This example produces the following results:
//     StackTrace: '   at System.Environment.GetStackTrace(Exception e)
//        at System.Environment.GetStackTrace(Exception e)
//        at System.Environment.get_StackTrace()
//        at <StartupCode$fs>.$Stacktrace.main@()'
     
      ' Sample for the Environment.StackTrace property
Class Sample
   Public Shared Sub Main()
      Console.WriteLine()
      Console.WriteLine("StackTrace: '{0}'", Environment.StackTrace)
   End Sub
End Class
'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()'
      
       Remarks
      
      
       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.
      
      
       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.
