How to log detail after throwing an exception? [duplicate]

Question

I'm pretty new to .net so my knowledge is pretty limited in many areas.

I'm creating a website at the moment, and have created a few static methods to help me out - here's an example:

 public static void ThrowNull<T>(this T obj, string param) where T : class { if (param.IsNullOrEmpty()) Throw<ArgumentException>("Undefined param!"); if (obj.IsNull()) Throw<ArgumentNullException>(param); }

I use it as a parameter guard in other methods, calling like this: myVar.ThrowNull("myVar");

The Throw method referred to above looks like this:

 static void Throw<E>(string message) where E : Exception { throw Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(E), message) as E; }

This all works great for testing but I want to be able to log details that occur from users. How do I get stack trace information from this point?

Any advice appreciated.

I agree with Ravi, you should check Log4Net. It logs everything you want. — Kadir

I don't know why this has been downvoted. It isn't a duplicate because I didn't ask how to perform error handling, I asked specifically how I got the stacktrace from the point in my code. — dotnetnoob

Exception newException = Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(E), message) as E; <Something?>newException.StackTrace throw newException;
