Unhandled exception

5 New Member
I have a Windows Forms application. It loads assemblies with the extension .Plugin.dll with Assembly.LoadFi le. One of these "plugins" calls into another assembly dll. That dll eventually throws a ValidationExcep tion exception. The method that throws the exception is in a class that inherits from IDataErrorInfo. This class is a class that is contained in a Linq to SQL class (.dbml). In the "plugin" I call DataContext.Sub mitChanges. This is wrapped in a try/catch block. This causes my business logic to validate the data before submitting to the database in the OnValidate override. The result that I see is that after the ValidationExept ion is thrown, the debugger stops at the bottom of the OnValidate method indicating that an unhandled exception has occured. If I continue to run the app my catch block is executed. That is what I wanted in the first place, but why am i getting an unhandled exception when it truly is handled?

I'm not sure, but this may be a feature of the debugger, designed to help you debug the program if an unexpcected exception occurs under these circumstances.

If anyone else is sure about the answer it would be helpful. I get other exceptions thrown and I handle them and the debugger does not stop. Why does ValidationExcep tion stop.

I too have noticed this behaviour... I just can't quite recall the circumstances. I feel like it was situation where threading was involved... like, I'm catching an exception in another thread and then reporting it back to the main thread. It was a while back so I can't remember the exact situation but like you, I couldn't make the debugger ignore it.

It is quite annoying though, but it's only when debugging. Your program will execute just fine when you run it normally. As Falkeli said, it may well be a "feature". If you figure out a way to disable it, please share!

Yeah, it is likely a thread issue since the exception is thrown in my DAL component and that component is running the database. So the database could have done something asynchronously, thus a different thread, when it threw the exception.

Nice feature. Not.

I have a Windows service that requests web pages from a site using an HttpWebRequest object. When I try to request a page from an ASP.NET 2 site, I get a WebException with message "The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error."

Can someone explain why this code pops up a messagebox saying the ThreadAbortException wasn't handled? The first exception is reported only in the debug pane, as expected. The second (caused by thread.Abort()) is reported twice: once in the debug window, and once through the message box. Is it because the thread was sleeping when the exception occurred?

When you have an unhandled exception in vb.net how do you view the exception information in the debugger? In C# the debugger creates a local variable that points to the exception and you can view it in one of the windows (autos or locals, don't remember which). That doesn't appear to be the case with vb.net. I also tried using the command window to inspect "Err" but that gave nothing useful (always empty).

Now this is bugging me. I just released software for a client and they have reported an unhandled stack overflow exception. My first concern is that the entirity of the UI and any threaded operations are all within Try Catches to help me locate the problem and the origination of any problem by specifiying an error code in the "Catch" section. So theoretically this shouldn't have been possible (at which point we all say "yeah,...

Hi there, Im experiencing an unhandled exception that seems to be impossible for me to catch. I am launching an assembly of mine from within another assembly using the Process object.

Unfortunately this is making debugging a complete and utter nightmare as the application has already terminated by...

In Vs 2005 you have new applicationsEvents.vb I was testing it in a simple app and found that it was easier to implement unhandled exception management tah it was in Vs2003 (vb.net) You can, if you want to, prevent your app from terminating on an unhandled exception, and for me this is important. In an Ivr app it will let me hang up the phone only on the line that triggered the unhandled exception, leaving other callers to complete their...

Hi, I feel like a noob for asking this. When I publish a VB windows application, I want to disable the ability of the the user to continue when there is an unhandled exception. For example, if there is a bug in the program that causes an exception, I want the program to crash. If there is an unhandled exception the program is in an undefined state, and continuing could be dangerous. I'm surprised the
