Finding a Constraint Violation

Question
-
I am working on a Website Project (unfortunately not a Web Application Project). While debugging, I get the following error:
Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints.
The line that the error points to, however, is a method that uses an SQL Server Stored Procedure that just uses a SELECT statement, so it is not adding any new data to the database. I have spent several days trying to find the problem, but no success. Is there any way to get SQL Server to give me a little more detail about what table and/or fields' constraints are being violated, what stored procedure is doing the violating, and/or the value that violates them? Thanks.

I do remember this exact problem discussed on ASP.NET forums website, although I don't remember if there was any resolution. Here is a topic in that forum http://forums.asp.net/p/1445339/3284670.aspx#3284670

One important point is this is not a SQL Server error, it is an error on the front end.
