I guess most of .NET devs have received a FileNotFoundException before and been awarded with this or similar view:
Most of the time, the stack trace looks something like this:
[FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.Service, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.]

Stack trace provides no hints to where in my own code the assembly is directly or indirectly referenced. It does say where in System/Microsoft assemblies it is referenced.
As I see it, the compiler is aware of what assemblies are 'my code' and what assemblies are System/Microsoft and third-party.
Q: Is there any way to determine the last line in 'my code' (like an extended stack trace) or is it made impossible for threading reasons or other shared memory issues ?
