Line number on error message?

[Tom Kaminski [MVP]]

I'm 99% sure I used to see a line number referenced in my ASP.NET error
messages but sometime over the last couple of weeks the error messages no
longer reference one. Am I imagining things or could something have changed?

I usually see line numbers with the work I do

did you compile in debug mode? you can see if there's a .pdb file in
the bin folder with the dll file. That usually gives line numbers in
error messages.

That was it - I flipped it over to Release mode to put it into production
and forgot to flip it back. I *knew* something had changed ... : )

If your binaries do not have corresponding .pdb (program debug database)
files, then you won't see line numbers. You will see method calls, but
not line numbers.
