catching Microsoft.JScri pt.JScriptExcep tion

bB
I am calling an external dll (compiled JScript) from within a
try/catch/finally block in a C# program and am unable to catch exceptions
being raised in the JScript dll by having a specific 'JScriptExcepto n' catch
block. I can't work out why this is.

If I have a general catch block that catches exceptions of type 'Exception'
and print out the type of the exception, it correctly states that the type
is 'Microsoft.JScr ipt.JScriptExce ption'.

I have worked around the problem by doing a string comparison as follows:

catch (Exception ex)
{
hasErrors = true;

errorString +=
"An unexpected error has been encountered\n" +
"whilst processing the entry for '" +

productPackageI tem["Descriptio n"] + "':\n\n";

//For some reason, exceptions of type "Microsoft.JScr ipt.JScriptExce ption"
//are not being caught with a seperate catch handler, and a comparison
using
//ex.GetType() against this exception class are also not working. A string
//comparison seems to be the only way of differentiated it...

if (ex.GetType().T oString() == "Microsoft.JScr ipt.JScriptExce ption")
{
errorString += "There is an error in the dimension formula\n\n";
}

errorString += "\"" + ex.Message + "\"";
}

What am I missing?

Tim.

sometimes in the last few months, apparently Microsoft made changes to their JavaScript documentation website: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/1e9b3876-3d38-4fd8-8596-1bbfe2330aa9.asp so that, one has to goddamn press the "expand" button to view the documentation, for every goddamn page.

I created a web service that includes the statement: using Microsoft.JScript; so I can use the eval methods.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
