FaultException<T>() exception thrown by the service is not caught by the client catch(FaultException
- by Ashish Gupta
Ok, I know I am missing something here. I have the following operation contract:
public double DivideByZero(int x, int y)
{
if (y == 0)
{
throw new FaultException<ArgumentException>
(new ArgumentException("Just some dummy exception")
,new FaultReason("some very bogus reason"), new FaultCode("007"));
}
return x / y;
}
And following is taken from the client:-
Console.WriteLine("Enter the x value");
string x = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("Enter the Y value");
string y = Console.ReadLine();
try
{
double val = client.DivideByZero(Convert.ToInt32(x), Convert.ToInt32(y));
Console.WriteLine("The result is " + val.ToString());
}
catch(FaultException<ArgumentException> exp)
{
Console.WriteLine("An ArgumentException was thrown by the service "+ exp.ToString());
}
catch (Exception exp)
{
Console.WriteLine(exp.ToString());
}
In the above case catch(FaultException exp) (the first catch block with ArgumentException in the client code) block does not get executed. However, when I remove ArgumentException to have catch(FaultException exp), the same catch block gets executed. I am not sure about this as I am throwing FaultException from my operation contract. Am I missing anything here.
Appreciate your help,
Ashish
