The following code example demonstrates a service that implements IErrorHandler that returns only FaultException<(Of <(TDetail>)>) of type GreetingFault when a service method throws a managed exception.
#region IErrorHandler Members
public bool HandleError(Exception error)
{
Console.WriteLine("HandleError called.");
// Returning true indicates you performed your behavior.
return true;
}
// This is a trivial implementation that converts Exception to FaultException<GreetingFault>.
public void ProvideFault(
Exception error,
MessageVersion ver,
ref Message msg
)
{
Console.WriteLine("ProvideFault called. Converting Exception to GreetingFault....");
FaultException<GreetingFault> fe
= new FaultException<GreetingFault>(new GreetingFault(error.Message));
MessageFault fault = fe.CreateMessageFault();
msg = Message.CreateMessage(
ver,
fault,
"http://microsoft.wcf.documentation/ISampleService/SampleMethodGreetingFaultFault"
);

The following code example shows how to use a service behavior to add the IErrorHandler implementation to the ErrorHandlers property.
// This behavior modifies no binding parameters.
#region IServiceBehavior Members
public void AddBindingParameters(

ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase,
System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<ServiceEndpoint> endpoints,

// must be applied to each ChannelDispatcher.
public void ApplyDispatchBehavior(ServiceDescription description, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase)
{
Console.WriteLine("The EnforceGreetingFaultBehavior has been applied.");
foreach(ChannelDispatcher chanDisp in serviceHostBase.ChannelDispatchers)
{
chanDisp.ErrorHandlers.Add(this);
}
}
// This behavior requires that the contract have a SOAP fault with a detail type of GreetingFault.
public void Validate(ServiceDescription description, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase)
{
Console.WriteLine("Validate is called.");
foreach (ServiceEndpoint se in description.Endpoints)
{
// Must not examine any metadata endpoint.
if (se.Contract.Name.Equals("IMetadataExchange")
&& se.Contract.Namespace.Equals("http://schemas.microsoft.com/2006/04/mex"))
continue;
foreach (OperationDescription opDesc in se.Contract.Operations)
{
if (opDesc.Faults.Count == 0)
throw new InvalidOperationException(String.Format(
"EnforceGreetingFaultBehavior requires a "
