Exceptions in IConfigurationSectionHandler.Create()

Hi all,

I'm writing my own custom config section handler. Since I'm parsing my
custom part of web.config in Create(), I'd like to throw some meaningful
errors if a user has made a mistake.
However, no matter what kind of exception I throw, the ASP.NET application
will always show some generic error message, such as:

"Exception in configuration section handler"
Is this by design?
Thanks.

-Oleg.

Did anyone ever come up for a solution to this problem. I am experiencing
the same thing and I would like users to have more information than
"Exception in configuration section handler."
