I'm trying to extend the ExceptionManage r Application Block and build a
custom publisher that writes my exceptions to the database. That's easy
part. The difficulty I am having is in configuring my web application to use
the custom publishers.
Things to note. I have a reference to
Microsoft.Appli cationBlocks.Ex ceptionManager in my web application
The Microsoft.Appli cationBlocks.Ex ceptionManager is in my GAC, so there is
no dll for it in my webapp\bin\debu g or release
I added this section at the top of my web.config file. At this time, I
haven't even included my custom database publisher, I just want to make sure
this is configured correctly.
<configSections >
<section name="exception Management"
type="Microsoft .ApplicationBlo cks.ExceptionMa nagement.Except ionManagerSecti o
nHandler,Micros oft.Application Blocks.Exceptio nManagement" />
</configSections>
<exceptionManag ement>
<publisher mode="on"
assembly="Micro soft.Applicatio nBlocks.Excepti onManagement"
type="Microsoft .ApplicationBlo cks.ExceptionMa nagement.Defaul tPublisher" />
</exceptionManage ment>
In my code, I have a web page which is throwing an exception, before it
throws it, I am calling the ExceptionManage r to publish the exception..
ExceptionManage r.Publish(ex);
According to the default behavior of the ExceptionManage r, the exception is
being writting into my event log properly.
However, I am getting ANOTHER exception, thrown by the ExceptionManage r
itself. I've pasted this exception below. Notice that it's not finding the
file
file:///c:/inetpub/wwwroot/lrwintranet/bin/Microsoft.Appli cationBlocks.Ex ceptionManageme nt.DLL.
because it's not there, it's in the Global Assembly Cache!!
How can I configure this to know that my Dlls for the ExceptionManage r are
in the GAC?
