Further details on WebException? How can I get them?

• Seericssop

  try creating a "config" file for the application - place it in the same directory where is the application and name it "your_application_name.exe.config"
  
  fill it with this content:
  
  < xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" >
  <configuration>
  <system.diagnostics>
  <trace autoflush="true" />
  <sources>
  <source name="System.Net" maxdatasize="1024">
  <listeners>
  <add name="MyTraceFile"/>
  </listeners>
  </source>
  </sources>
  
  <sharedListeners>
  <add
  name="MyTraceFile"
  type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
  initializeData="System.Net.trace.log"
  />
  </sharedListeners>
  
  <switches>
  <add name="System.Net" value="Verbose" />
  </switches>
  
  </system.diagnostics>
  </configuration>
  
  it should create trace file for all System.Net stuff and exceptions too.
  I'm sure it works with desktop .net framework, but give it a try for compact framework.

  .NETCF does not implement configuration classes so the approach given above will not work for compact framework.

  To get more details of your exception do something like the following

  try

  {

  // Call your WebService here

  }

  catch(WebException wex)

  {

  StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

  sb.Append(String.Format("Messsage: {0}", wex.Message));

  sb.Append("\n");

  sb.Append("Status: " + wex.Status);

  sb.Append("\n");

  if (null != wex.InnerException)

  {

  sb.Append("InnerException: " + wex.InnerException.ToString());

  sb.Append("\n");

  }

  HttpWebResponse response = wex.Response as HttpWebResponse;

  if (null != response)

  {

  //Get the reason for the exception

  HttpStatusCode status = response.StatusCode;

  string _description = (int)status + "-" + status + response.StatusDescription;

  sb.Append(_description);

  sb.Append("\n");

  response.Close();

  }

  MessageBox.Show(sb.ToString());

  }

  HTH.
