I am new to Xamarin and currently developing my first app with Android.
I have deliberately created an exception as follows:
throw new Exception("Whoops");
When I hit this line, the Emulator does not give any indication that there has been a problem. If I set a breakpoint on the above line in Visual Studio and then step over it, I get the following error:
Frame not in module
The current stack frame was not found in a loaded module.
How can I get Visual Studio to tell me exactly what went wrong? At the moment I can't find any trace of the exception.
this comes because debugger can't go to other namespace so if your code calling other methods from other namespace go to it and add a point
I work with Xamarin.forms and have the problem with my .droid project...
The error-messages “frame not in module” appears every time, if VS tries to investigate “foreign” code.
This, although I have set the option “Enable Just My Code” in the options to the debugger (so... for me it’s a bug).
However, a simple workaround works for me:
In debug mode simply click on the button step over (F10) instead of “step into” (note: this is the button on the right of step over in the upper icon bar of VS).
This link told me what I needed to know:
https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/deployment,_testing,_and_metrics/android_debug_log/
You just go to View > Other Windows > Android Device Logging from within Visual Studio. I found it best to use text view.
If there is a better way then please let me know though.
Only this worked for me on VS 2015:
open "DEBUG -> Windows -> Exception Settings"
tick the parent option "Common Language Runtime Exceptions" so all its children are ticked.
(same works with VS 2013 but on step 1. open "DEBUG -> Exceptions)
