MethodInfo.Invoke and TargetInvocationException

We have a base class that relies heavily on MethodInfo.Invoke.

Often, as such things happen, exceptions are thrown in the method that was invoked, and this pops up as a TargetInvocationException, at the place of the Invoke command.

I have tried wrapping my call to Invoke like this:

try
{
mi.Invoke(...);
}
catch (TargetInvocationException ex)
{
throw ex.InnerException;
}

However, this changes the stack trace. Is there a way for me to re-throw the inner exception so that Visual Studio pops up at the method being invoked with the exception that was thrown there, instead of always stopping in our base class?

I am working on replacing the calls to Invoke with delegates, but it's a lot of code so it's neither quick going nor bug-free so I was hoping there was a temporary fix for this while I rework the code.
