WorkflowApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs Class
Provides information about an unhandled exception that occurred in a workflow instance.
System::EventArgs
System.Activities::WorkflowApplicationEventArgs
System.Activities::WorkflowApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs
Assembly: System.Activities (in System.Activities.dll)
The WorkflowApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ExceptionSource | Gets the activity that is the source of the unhandled exception. |
![]() | ExceptionSourceInstanceId | Gets the unique identifier of the activity instance that is the source of the unhandled exception. |
![]() | InstanceId | The unique identifier of the workflow instance. (Inherited from WorkflowApplicationEventArgs.) |
![]() | UnhandledException | Gets the Exception that was unhandled by the workflow instance. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetInstanceExtensions<T> | Gets the collection of extensions of the specified type. (Inherited from WorkflowApplicationEventArgs.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
If an exception is thrown by an activity and is unhandled, the default behavior is to terminate the workflow instance. If an OnUnhandledException handler is present, it can override this default behavior. This handler gives the workflow host author an opportunity to provide the appropriate handling, such as custom logging, aborting the workflow, canceling the workflow, or terminating the workflow.
The following example invokes a workflow that throws an exception. The exception is unhandled by the workflow and the OnUnhandledException handler is invoked. The WorkflowApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs are inspected to provide information about the exception, and the workflow is terminated.
Activity wf = new Sequence { Activities = { new WriteLine { Text = "Starting the workflow." }, new Throw { Exception = new InArgument<Exception>((env) => new ApplicationException("Something unexpected happened.")) }, new WriteLine { Text = "Ending the workflow." } } }; WorkflowApplication wfApp = new WorkflowApplication(wf); wfApp.OnUnhandledException = delegate(WorkflowApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e) { // Display the unhandled exception. Console.WriteLine("OnUnhandledException in Workflow {0}\n{1}", e.InstanceId, e.UnhandledException.Message); Console.WriteLine("ExceptionSource: {0} - {1}", e.ExceptionSource.DisplayName, e.ExceptionSourceInstanceId); // Instruct the runtime to terminate the workflow. return UnhandledExceptionAction.Terminate; // Other choices are UnhandledExceptionAction.Abort and // UnhandledExceptionAction.Cancel }; wfApp.Run();
