C# Exceptions Not Giving Line Numbers

Question

I am using C# having come from a Java background - I have an exception but it does not tell me the line number - Just the method name.

Is that usual?? Is it down to Debug / Release builds??

Answer 1

Line numbers should be available when compiling in Debug as long as you keep the pdb files in the application directory.

This will also work in Release if you enable PDB creation, as per Justin's answer.
