C# equivalent to Java's Exception.printStackTrace()?

Question

Is there a C# equivalent method to Java\'s Exception.printStackTrace() or do I have to write something myself, working my way through the InnerExceptions?

Answer 1

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.exception.stacktrace.aspx

Console.WriteLine(myException.StackTrace);

Answer 2

Also look at Log4Net... its a port of Log4J to .NET.

Answer 3

I would like to add: If you want to print the stack outside of an exception, you can use:

Console.WriteLine(System.Environment.StackTrace);

Answer 4

Is there no C# Logging API that can take an Exception as an argument and handle everything for you, like Java's Log4J does?

I.e., use Log4NET.

Answer 5

Since @ryan-cook answer didn't work for me, if you want to print the stack trace without having an exception, you can use:

System.Diagnostics.StackTrace stackTrace = new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace();
Console.WriteLine(stackTrace)

Unfortunately, this can't be done in a PCL or in a .NETStandard Library

Answer 6

  catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine(ex.StackTrace);
}
