Getting Stacktrace in VisualStudio

Hi,

The message tells you that the exception was thrown inside OnBar method, what you can do is put all your OnBar method code inside a try/catch block and check the thrown exception data or print its stacktrace, do this only for debugging and remove it when you find and fixed the issue because using general try/catch block for Exception type is not a good coding practice.

Hi Amusleh,

thank you for your comment. Just to avoid misunderstandings let me rephrase and underline the central point of my question:

Is there a possibility to print the stacktrace using the VS debug mode?

Kind regards

Not sure what do you mean by print the stacktrace using the VS debug mode.

If you are debugging and you have a breakpoint somewhere on your code you can step in/out to find the issue but that might get too much time and it depend on when your code throws the exception.

Instead put a try/cache block like this:

using cAlgo.API;
using System;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class Bug : Robot
    {
        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            // Remove this cache block once you fixed the issue
            // Don't use general purpose try/catch blocks in production code
            try
            {
                // put all your OnBar code here
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                // Now you have the exception and you can do anything you want to with it
                Print(ex.StackTrace);
            }
        }
    }
}
