Web config has debug=true and the project is a debug build and the pdb files are present in the bin directory, but I do not get line numbers in my stacktrace when an excepti
Maybe this could help, until you can find a better solution:
It turns out using impersonation with the web.config:
<identity impersonate="true" />
causes the loss of the line numbers in the stacktrace. I took the entry out and my line numbers returned, put it back and after a few hours (Kerberos ticket refreshing?) the line numbers disappeared again.
Not sure why impersonation affects the stack trace but it does - would be happy to have someone confirm / explain this...
According to question 4130956: If impersonate="true", to get line numbers in the stack trace, you need to assign the 'Debug Programs' user right to the account that you are using to log in.
Check the MAchine.Config file
In ASP.NET 2.0 there is a switch that can be turned on in machine.config that turns off all debug=true, so in 2.0 applications you can do this directly without worrying about finding out which applications do and don’t have it.
