FileSystem.GetFiles() + UnauthorizedAccessException error?

Hello, It seems like FileSystem.GetFiles() is unable to recover from the UnauthorizedAccessException exception that .Net triggers when trying to access an off-limit directory. In this case, does it mean this class/method isn't useful when scanning a whole drive and I should use some other solution (in which case: Which one?)? Here's s...

MS-Access VBA: form_error vs on error

I am trying to set up error handling for a MS-Access application. The standard method to do this seems to be with an On Error statement in each subroutine/function.

IIS7 Custom Errror Handling Troubles for Classic ASP Website

I recently upgraded a web server from IIS6 to IIS7 for a classic asp application and now experience a bizarre error.

How to pass non-fatal warnings from a library

A library function parses a file and returns an object. If a parser encounters unknown data, missing values etc., it shouldn't throw an exception and stop parsing (because this is not fatal), but there should be a way to pass information about these things to a caller (so that warnings can be displayed in the UI, for example). How can th...

A few questions on handing errors- I assume it's best to handle them in Application_OnError(){}? Do you then prefer to write them error to the event log, write them to a custom file locally or email them? If the latter, do you use any specialist libraries to pre-format the exception email? ...

Whether to check for null

I know that you should always check incoming params to a method for null. But what if I have this scenario with a try/catch referring to a local variable. Do I really need to check for null below?

Application Errors vs User Errors in PHP

So after much debate back and forth, I've come up with what I think may be a valid plan to handle Application/System errors vs User Errors (I.e. Validation Issues, Permission Issues etc). Application/System Errors will be handled using a custom error handler (via set_error_handler()). Depending on the severity of the error, the user may...
