Debugging without a stack trace

[imilne]

Showing (yet again) my inexperience with C#, but how do you properly debug exceptions being thrown when there's no stack trace to lead you to where it's being thrown from? I guess I'm just too used to Java

This has cropped up here (http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...in-System):

Only thing I can suggest is go to the project Properties -> Build -> Advanced and change "Debugging Info" from "None". That will output a pdb file when you recompile and the stack trace will show in the NPVR logs.

Or just have him download the modified plugin that I did at http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...-functions . I included a pdb file so that should give you what you need (I'll shoot you the code modifications).

I've always included pdb files with my plugins though.

Huh, then I'm as stumped as you are.

Maybe put a catch block around "Updating uiDrives args" and whatever is after it?

Is the error in the catch itself?

Could be, but I've no idea which one. It doesn't necessarily seem to be the one that's last in the log file, as they've now posted another one that shows a different set of outputs.

Maybe I can wrap it at the highest level - probably where I fire off the background thread to collect all the different bits of info - and hope that catches it.

One of these days I really should read a book on C#

That's on my todo list as well.

I wouldn't bother - I bought one and read it cover to cover - didn't do me any good... :mad:
