Exception thrown. How do I know what control did it?

Greetings!

I started using SF just this week and have a very basic question about working with it.

When I manage to break SF the stack traces aren't too handy. For example, we just moved all of the SF BO's out of the main project and put them into their own. Consequently, the project compiles fine, but I end up getting errors at run-time and a stack trace.

I'm not so concerned with fixing the actual error, but wondering just what the best way to figure out the source of the error is? Specifically figuring out which control is blowing up! I can't find any indication of this in the error message.

Thus far the only thing I can think of is to remove controls from the webpages one by one until I figure out what the offending control is. That seems far from optimal, however.

If anybody has suggestions I'm all ears!

Yeah, I should have thought of that in the original message. :)

It might be best to post the exception you're getting out here on the forum... when we see the message, we can tell you what might be causing the problems and point out what in the stack trace gave us that clue.
