For WinForms, you could probably also attach Format and/or Parse listeners to the Binding, and break/throw inside the appropriate methods. There's no guarantee that the call to Format/Parse is going to be made within the specific call stack that you're hoping to find, though. http://ayende.com/4638/how-to-find-the-stack-trace-for-data-binding#comment14http://ayende.com/4638/how-to-find-the-stack-trace-for-data-binding#comment14Fri, 24 Sep 2010 14:57:54 GMTSubclass Binding? http://ayende.com/4638/how-to-find-the-stack-trace-for-data-binding#comment13http://ayende.com/4638/how-to-find-the-stack-trace-for-data-binding#comment13Fri, 24 Sep 2010 09:09:22 GMTTrace points and printing of $CALLSTACK? http://ayende.com/4638/how-to-find-the-stack-trace-for-data-binding#comment12http://ayende.com/4638/how-to-find-the-stack-trace-for-data-binding#comment12Thu, 23 Sep 2010 21:26:40 GMTConverter. http://ayende.com/4638/how-to-find-the-stack-trace-for-data-binding#comment11http://ayende.com/4638/how-to-find-the-stack-trace-for-data-binding#comment11Thu, 23 Sep 2010 17:11:02 GMTDynamic Proxy Interceptor with a Breakpoint in it? ;) greetings Daniel http://ayende.com/4638/how-to-find-the-stack-trace-for-data-binding#comment10http://ayende.com/4638/how-to-find-the-stack-trace-for-data-binding#comment10Thu, 23 Sep 2010 15:26:20 GMT@Samuel Jack Yep.

For bonus points, enable .Net Framework source stepping and you can step through the databinding engine. http://ayende.com/4638/how-to-find-the-stack-trace-for-data-binding#comment8http://ayende.com/4638/how-to-find-the-stack-trace-for-data-binding#comment8Thu, 23 Sep 2010 11:48:50 GMTUse a "debug" converter, which does nothing but return the value passed in, and set a breakpoint in the "Convert" method? http://ayende.com/4638/how-to-find-the-stack-trace-for-data-binding#comment7http://ayende.com/4638/how-to-find-the-stack-trace-for-data-binding#comment7Thu, 23 Sep 2010 11:24:03 GMTThis sounds like "Fermat's Last Theorem" :).
