Hi,

I need to print the line number in VB in runtime. Is there any function/API
available to do this?

e.g.

Private Sub TestMethod()

Dim a As Integer
Dim b As Integer

Dim c As Integer

a = 10
b = 20
c = 40

MsgBox <<HERE I WANT TO PRINT THE LINE NUMBER>>

End Sub

Please help me in doing this.

Thanks,
Su Man

It doesn't really make any sense since you would have to
assign the line number (ie hard code it) then in the
scenario you present there really is no difference in just
doing

Msgbox 123

If you want the line number where an error occured then
that's a different story.

Su Man,

You would need to add line numbers to each line.

Then--as Jan mentioned--you could use ERL to get the line number on which
the error occurred.
