In general how do you indentify a specific error? If 2 different error
conditions throw the same type of exception how do you know which error
occured? There are no error numbers, so are you forced to compare
Message strings? But these strings are locale dependent, so that
wouldn't work.
Also, is there a complete table or listing of possible framework errors?

In general, you shouldn't need to rely on anything more specific than
the type of exception. Unfortunately, that's not always the case -
sometimes the same exception is given for different reasons, one of
which you can handle and one of which you can't. There's no good,
reliable way of determining the difference.
The only complete listing of possible framework exceptions is the one
you get by looking at the MSDN docs for Exception, and look for all the
derived classes.

There is one situation that you can do something about. If you are
having to distinguish between two exceptions coming out of one of your
own routines, but which originate in two different calls down to the
..NET Framework, you can catch each of them in your code and "wrap" them
in different exceptions so that you can distinguish them.
For example, if you have a method:
public void DoSomethingOrOt her(object param1, object param2)
{
// Call a Framework method with param1
FrameworkMethod 1(param1);
// Call a Framework method with param2
FrameworkMethod 2(param2);
}
Now, either of these calls could throw an ArgumentNullExc eption, if one
of param1 or param2 was null. Which framework method throws the
exception depends upon which argument is null. From the outside of
DoSomethingOrOt her, the two exceptions are indistinguishab le. However,
you could change that by doing this:
public void DoSomethingOrOt her(object param1, object param2)
{
try
{
// Call a Framework method with param1
FrameworkMethod 1(param1);
}
catch (ArgumentNullEx ception ane)
{
throw new MyApplicationEx ception("Someth ing-or-other can't be
null.", ane);
}
// Call a Framework method with param2
FrameworkMethod 2(param2);
}
Now you can distinguish the (recoverable) condition of the first
parameter being null from the (unrecoverable) condition of the second
parameter being null.
Of course, this works only in this circumstance. It doesn't work if a
single Framework method happens to throw the same exception under two
different conditions, and you want to recover from one and not the
other. In that case, you're out of luck. :(

This is my problem -- the framework provides no way to narrow down the
error in some cases. But it's true that usually the exception type is
all you need.
I found today that in the case of SocketException the error has detailed
socket error codes returned from the underlying API. I just wish all the
exceptions had a unique code number you could look up. I feel very old
school. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

"Unless you have a very good reason to catch an exception, DON'T.
Exceptions are supposed to be exceptional, just like the dictionary meaning:
uncommon, unusual. When in doubt, let the calling routine, or the global
exception handler, deal with it. This is the golden rule. The hardest kinds
of exceptions to troubleshoot are the ones that don't even exist, because a
developer upstream of you decided to consume it."

FxCopy says this about catching general exceptions:
"You should not catch Exception or SystemException.
Catching generic exception types can hide run-time
problems from the library user, and can complicate
debugging. You should catch only those exceptions that
you can handle gracefully."
This is for a winform app but applies to asp.net also. There are some
code blocks you may know which exception may get thrown and others
