How to rethrow InnerException without losing stack trace in C#?

by

In .NET 4.5 there is now the ExceptionDispatchInfo class.

This lets you capture an exception and re-throw it without changing the stack-trace:

using ExceptionDispatchInfo = 
    System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo;

try
{
    task.Wait();
}
catch(AggregateException ex)
{
    ExceptionDispatchInfo.Capture(ex.InnerException).Throw();
}

This works on any exception, not just AggregateException.

It was introduced due to the await C# language feature, which unwraps the inner exceptions from AggregateException instances in order to make the asynchronous language features more like the synchronous language features.
