I need some good ideas or references for robust error handling in VB.NET.
I am using try catch but find myself using the generic exception handler. I
would like to get more precise error handling so I can take appropriate
action and display user friendly error messages back to the client. The
problem I am getting is determining which error types can be thrown for each
function/sub and handling them. Is there a way to determine all the
possible error types to catch and handle them? Or should I write a generic
error handling routine to pass back all errors through an event? Any
suggestions would be great.

The various sub-classes of exceptions are categorized according to the
type of error. For instance, File IO exceptions, Numerical exceptions,
and the like. What you will focus on in any procedure will depend on
what is actually taking place there.
The last exception catch, however, should always be the generic
Exception, so nothing will slip by unhandled by mistake.

I sometimes write my own exception handling class. I always use the
Excetion in my try..catch blocks, and then when I catch an Exception,
I pass it (and sometimes an address of a delegate in the calling
class, if lots of extra work needs to be done for cleanup) to my own
exception handling class to decide which error message and which style
dialogue to display.
That way, all IO exceptions (for example) can be handled in the same
way in the same place.
This I find works best for large applications, but to each his/her own!

Download reflector so you can find everything that inherits from exception.

vb6 had some decent automated errorhandler add-ins
I think that MZTOOLS had one; as did the Office 2000 developers
edition

When creating a new class, is it encouraged to always include error

most text books never seem to include much about error handling within
classes. Just hoping to hear some programmer's thoughts on error
handling.

I have a command button on a subform to delete a record.
The only statement in the subroutine is:

Errno is 2465. Err.description is "Can't find field '|' referred to in your

I use code extensively; I probably overuse it. But I've been using
error trapping very sparingly, and now I've been trapped by that.
A form that works for me on the system I'm using, apparently runs into
problems on the system where it will actually be used, and since I
used so little error-trapping it dies very ungracefully.
I will of course try to fix whatever is causing the error and add
error-trapping to the functions where the...

Everyone knows that global variables get re-set in an mdb when an un-handled

is defined as private at form-level.
So if "global variables get re-set" doesn't tell the whole story, then what
does?

Hi all
I'am moving from Visual Foxpro and have a question
regarding "best practice" error handling in vb .net.
In VFP I have always used a "central" error handling
object in order to have a easy and reusable way of
handling all errors in a program.
The VB 6 coding examples I have seen there has always
been error handling code in each program module.

Hi,
I have error handling in place throughout my application. I also start the
application wrapped in error handling code to catch any unexpected
exceptions (i.e. exceptions that occur where I haven't placed error handling
code).
When I run my app from the IDE, the unhandled errors are caught by the error
handling code in my Sub Main routine and the error details are logged to a
text file and optionally e-mailed to me for follow-up.

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,...
