Hi Jacob!

You can try this way!

Create ExceptionHelper class as below

public static class ExceptionHelper\
{\
public static int LineNumber(this Exception e)\
{

int linenum = 0;\
try\
{\
linenum = Convert.ToInt32(e.StackTrace.Substring(e.StackTrace.LastIndexOf(":line") + 5));\
}\
catch\
{\
//Stack trace is not available!\
}\
return linenum;\
}\
}

get error line number as below

try\
{\
// do somthing here\
}\
catch(Exception ex)\
{\
int eln = ex.LineNumber();\
}

I hope it resolve your problem
