Exception handling source line number

[Mr Major Thorburn]

I am using global.asax to handle my web application exceptions and have
configured it to create event log entries for errors that occur and to
display an error page advising the user to contact the helpdesk.
I have an intermittent uninitialised object error that I am not able to
reproduce in test and for which I really need the source line number.
I believe this information is contained in the PDB but am not sure if one is
created if I set the debug="true" flag in the compilation part of the
system.web section of the web.config when the application is recompiled.

Anyone any idea?

Regards, Major.
p.s. Major is my Christian name ;-)

There was no way for you to know it (except maybe by browsing through
some of the previous questions before posting yours - always a
recommended practice), but this is a classic asp newsgroup. ASP.Net is
a different technology from classic ASP. While you may be lucky enough
to find a dotnet-savvy person here who can answer your question, you
can eliminate the luck factor by posting your question to a newsgroup
where the dotnet-savvy people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.
There are also forums at www.asp.net where you can find a lot of people
to help you.
