Syntax

public virtual string StackTrace { get; }

Value

A string that describes the contents of the call stack.

Remarks

Note: Exception.StackTrace might not report as many method calls as expected, due to code transformations, such as inlining, that occur during optimization.

This property is read-only.

Operation

Note to Inheritors

The Exception.StackTrace property is overridden in classes that require control over the stack trace content or format.

Usage

Use the Exception.StackTrace property to obtain a string representation of the contents of the call stack at the time the exception was thrown.
