Question

Answer 1

A:

It depends, if you're using WCF you can define a custom exception. All exceptions that you want your client to see must be of the type FaultException.

Your custom exception would look like this:

    [DataContract]
    public class CustomFault
    {
       public CustomFault()
       {
       }

        public CustomFault(string message)
        {
            Message = message;
        }

        [DataMember]
        public string Message { get; private set; }
    }

and you throw your custom exception like this:

throw new FaultException<CustomFault>(new CustomFault("your custom message"));

No, I'm not using WCF.

Answer 2

A:

I don't think you're getting the error you're thinking. It looks like your client isn't able to hit your service and getting a web page error, taking that html and wrapping it in a soap exception. Since your web service isn't accessable, there's nothing you can do in code to handle it. Can you load up your WSDL in a browser successfully?

The exception is created and thrown by the WebService. And it is a SoapException.

crauscher 2009-05-28 15:28:23

Joshua is correct. Sending exceptions obviously works, or the feature would have been fixed in the last seven years or so. Something else is wrong.

@crascher: ASMX web services do not return HTML instead of SOAP Faults. I guarantee it.

John Saunders 2009-05-28 15:30:21

Do what the error says, turn off custom errors and you'll see what the error is.

Joshua Belden 2009-05-28 15:31:25

As I said, it is not the whole exception message, only a part of it. Due to the reason that I have to display the exception message in a message box the whole html stuff makes the message big. That's why I want to get rid of it. An I throw a soapexception on the server side and only take the message on the client side out the incoming exception and display it.

I recieve an InvalidOperationException.
