C#: Exception Handling Quick Read
From postings on the MSDN Forums and my own work, I have a template that allows for a quick read of an exception in C#. The following code will format the exception so it can be read on either the console or in a message box.
public static string Create(Exception ex)
{
return string.Format(
"Exception:\t{1}{0}Message:\t{2}{0}Source:\t\t{3}{0}TargetSite:\t{4}{0}{0}StackTrace{0}--------------{0}{0}{5}{0}",
System.Environment.NewLine,
ex.GetType(),
ex.Message.Replace("\r", "").Replace('\n', '\t'),
ex.Source,
ex.TargetSite.ToString(),
ex.StackTrace);
}
Here is what it look likes if you pipe it to a message box as in MessageBox.Show( MyClass.Create ( ex ) )
As one can see all the important information is nicely spaced out and readable.
