getting line numbers of offending code in debug vs release builds

Question

My understanding is that with crash dump of debug build you can get the line number of stack trace and this does not happen with release build. In order to try this, I created a very simple application that crashes.

class Program  
{  
    static void Main(string[] args)  
    {  
        Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue");  
        Console.ReadKey();  
        TestMe(null);  
    }  


    static void TestMe(MyClass c)  
    {  
        Console.WriteLine(c.Field);  
    }  
}  

class MyClass  
{  
    public string Field { get; set; }  
}  

I created one debug build and one release build. Ran both of these and catpured crash dump via ADPlus. Below are the stack traces for each build. As you can see I am getting the line number in both builds. Obviously difference is that in release build its not reporting call to TestMe method. Any ideas why? Do I need add symbol path to application pdb files in both cases

In the release build, the JIT compiler is no doubt inlining the method call - that's why the line number is different.
