catching errors

when in a try..catch.., is it possible to capture the line number that the code is at when the catch happens? I'd like to do so for logging purposes.

exception.getobjectdata is supposed to return serializable data about the exception, but I don't know much about it. You could parse the exception.tostring text for the text starting with "line no...."
I'm not sure if it would help in an exe; since most comments are stripped out, I don't know if the line numbers there would necessarily match those in the IDE.
exception.targetsite.tostring will give you the sub that threw the exception.

Example

VB Code:

Try
   'Code Here
Catch ex As Exception
   Dim strErrMsg As String = ex.Message.ToString()
   Dim strTrace As String = ex.StackTrace.ToString()
 
   'Call your logging function
   Call LogError(strErrMsg, strTrace)
End Try

You could also look into using the stack trace class:
