Stack traces obtained when using portable PDBs now include source file and line information if requested

Scope

Edge

Version Introduced

4.7.2

Source Analyzer Status

NotPlanned

Change Description

Starting with .NET Framework 4.7.2, stack traces obtained when using portable PDBs include source file and line information when requested. In versions prior to .NET Framework 4.7.2, source file and line information would be unavailable when using portable PDBs even if explicitly requested.

• Quirked
• Build-time break

Recommended Action

For applications that target the .NET Framework 4.7.2, you can opt out of the source file and line information when using portable PDBs if it is not desirable by adding the following to the <runtime> section of your app.config file:

 <runtime>
   <AppContextSwitchOverrides value="Switch.System.Diagnostics.IgnorePortablePDBsInStackTraces=true" />
</runtime>

For applications that target earlier versions of the .NET Framework but run on the .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later, you can opt in to the source file and line information when using portable PDBs by adding the following to the <runtime> section of your app.config file:

<runtime>
   <AppContextSwitchOverrides value="Switch.System.Diagnostics.IgnorePortablePDBsInStackTraces=false" />
</runtime>
