Lab #10: Working with Uncaught Exceptions

Members:

Rafael Zuniga, Stephen Cave

Summary:

The purpose of this lab is to show how exceptions are reported in WCF.

Procedure:

We begin by opening the solution found in Chapter8/Exceptions in the lab directory. The project is compiled successfully and the host and client are run:



Next we try to upload theband.jpg which results in a fault:



The current exception message does not help in solving what the problem is so we modify the service application configuration to include debugging by adding a new element to the behavior section. We add a serviceDebug element with the includeExceptionDetailsInFailts attribute set to true. Now when we run the project again we get error information which helps us identify the problem:



Observations:

1. If you're debugging you should probably turn this on
2. This lab was really short
