Line numbers not printing in error logs

I have an exception handling attribute for the controller that writes error logs for every exception that comes in the program. I have .pdb file deployed on the server and have below code to written for the line numbers:

// Get stack trace for the exception with source file information
var st = new StackTrace(ex, true);
// Get the top stack frame
var frame = st.GetFrame(0);
// Get the line number from the stack frame
var line = frame.GetFileLineNumber();

Still I get line number as 0.

I have two questions on this:

Shouldn't the line numbers get automatically written if I keep the .pdb file on the server?
Why am I getting them as 0 in the above code?

I referred to msdn, question.

Appreciate your reply.

Not always; despite having the PDB the code may be so optimized to make it impossible to associate particular point in the stack to any one line number in source. – Peter Ritchie Mar 10 '15 at 13:49
@Jenish: I already have the .pdb in place with the binaries on server. – Mustafa Mar 10 '15 at 13:59
@Peter: What other option do I have? – Mustafa Mar 10 '15 at 14:00
@Mustafa did you check ex.StackTrace (string) does contain line number or not? – Jenish Rabadiya Mar 10 '15 at 14:03
@Jenish: No they don't. I print complete stack trace but there are no line numbers in that. – Mustafa Mar 10 '15 at 14:06
@JenishRabadiya the OP says that line number 0 is returned and that the PDB file is with the binaries, asking/telling things already detailed does not seem useful. – Peter Ritchie Mar 10 '15 at 14:07
@Mustafa You can either try debugging in another way (trace, logging, etc.) or try deploying DEBUG binaries that will have more accurate line numbers. – Peter Ritchie Mar 10 '15 at 14:08
@Mustafa this answer may be helpful to you for release pdb files http://stackoverflow.com/a/628590/1505865 – Jenish Rabadiya Mar 10 '15 at 14:14
