ExceptionHandler Class
Assembly: System.ServiceModel (in system.servicemodel.dll)
Extend the ExceptionHandler class and override the HandleException method to determine whether an exception should terminate the application. Then create a new instance of your custom ExceptionHandler class and assign it to the static AsynchronousThreadExceptionHandler or TransportExceptionHandler property prior to creating WCF clients or services.
The following code example shows an implementation of the ExceptionHandler abstract class that overrides the HandleException method.
using System; using System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher; // ExceptionHandler namespace CS { public class MyExceptionHandler: ExceptionHandler { // HandleException method override gives control to // your code. public override bool HandleException ( Exception ex ) { // This method contains logic to decide whether // the exception is serious enough // to terminate the process. return ShouldTerminateProcess (ex); } public bool ShouldTerminateProcess (Exception ex) { // Write your logic here. return true; } }
The following code example shows how to enable the custom MyExceptionHandler for unhandled exceptions that occur within the WCF runtime.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create an instance of the MyExceptionHander class.
MyExceptionHandler thisExceptionHandler =
new MyExceptionHandler();
// Enable the custom handler by setting
// AsynchronousThreadExceptionHandler property
// to this object.
ExceptionHandler.AsynchronousThreadExceptionHandler =
thisExceptionHandler;
// After the handler is set, write your call to
// System.ServiceModel.ICommunation.Open here
}
