Line numbers in stack trace

Question

I am using VS 2012 11.0.61219 and I keep getting an error about an item not set to an instance. It shows a stack backtrace but does not show line numbers on any of the methods. On the methods, there are several places where this could be occurring, but without the line numbers I cannot tell. How can I turn line numbers on?

Not sure it helps or not but this is using C# with Test Complete Connected Apps.

Hi TonyChamberlain-2874,
First,you need to know that changing the build settings in Visual Studio 2012 will not work.
You can try the suggestions in this thread.

<PropertyGroup>  
  <ExcludeGeneratedDebugSymbol>False</ExcludeGeneratedDebugSymbol>  
</PropertyGroup>  

And you can also write a custom Stack Trace Explorer which that you could show the line number.
More details you can refer to this link.

var lineNumber = TextDocument.GetLineByOffset(context.VisualLine.StartOffset).LineNumber;  

More solutions in this thread you can refer to.
Best Regards,
Daniel Zhang
