[.net] How do I find the stack trace in Visual Studio?

I ask because I couldn't find the stack trace in Visual Studio, while debugging an exception that occurred.

The answer is


For Visual Studio 2019, the shortcut (while debugging and stopped at a breakpoint) is:

Ctrl+Alt+C and now you can also use Ctrl+L

The screenshot is pretty old. Here is one for Visual Studio 2019 (under the debug menu):

Visual Studio 2019 Call Stack Menu Option


Do you mean finding a stack trace of the thrown exception location? That's either Debug/Exceptions, or better - Ctrl-Alt-E. Set filters for the exceptions you want to break on.

There's even a way to reconstruct the thrower stack after the exception was caught, but it's really unpleasant. Much, much easier to set a break on the throw.


The default shortcut key is Ctrl-Alt-C.


Using the Call Stack Window

To open the Call Stack window in Visual Studio, from the Debug menu, choose Windows>Call Stack. To set the local context to a particular row in the stack trace display, double click the first column of the row.

While debugging, when you hit a break-point.

CTRL+ALT+C

Consider this as the current update (Windows 10 (Version 1803) and Visual Studio 2017): I was unable to view the stack trace window and did find an option/menu item to view it. On investigating further, it seems this feature is not available on Windows 10. For further information please refer:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/viewing-the-call-stack-in-visual-studio

Copied from the above link: "This feature is not available in Windows 10, version 1507 and later versions of the WDK."
