Removing extra information from Soap Exception

[Siobhan]

Hi
In our web service we cath and throw exceptions to the class as follows:
Catch ex As Exception
Throw New
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException("Unable to login: " & ex.Message,
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException.ServerFaultCode)


Then in our class we catch the Soap exception, howbere the message of this
exception always starts with System.Web.Services.Protocols.Exception:

Is there anyway to remove this information, especially if we are passing
back a filaed login we don't want to confuse the user, but even with other
exceptions this information is not needed for the user
Thanks

Hi Siobhan!

Use the SoapException.Detail (XML-Node) to store your exeption-infos and
extract it back on the client!

Hi Daniel
Sorry to be a pain but would you have a sample of this - I am not very
familiar with XML as yet
Cheers

Hello Siobhan!

Then I think it's a good time to get a little familiar with it. If you
really want to understand Soap-based WebServices there's no other way ...

Just have a look at the System.Xml-Namespace in the Framework!
