Hi,

I have mdMethodDef  and IMetaDataImport. I can use to to figure out
the name and class of the
method using GetMethodProps.
How do I find the source-file and line number that this method is
defined,?
I do have the pdb files.

Thanks,
~jyoti

Without .pdb you are out of luck. This information is stored within the .pdb 
Files, not the Assembly itself. I do not know any managed compiler which 
compiles this information into the image itself.

None of this applies to the OP, who *does* have the .pdb files.

:-D

I've read: "I do _not_ have the pdb files."

Sorry.

I do not see any way to get this information directly (the 
System.Runtime.Remoting.MethodInfo also doesn't expose this).

But you can try to get the RVA by using the

IMetaDataImport::GetMethodProps(..... [out] ULONG *pulCodeRVA ...);

Maybe you can get the Linenumber / Filename by using the DbgHelp Library.
