Receiving Exception in Silverlight from WCF (Exception Handling in WCF)

Any error comes in the WCF service it returns Remote Server returned an Error. To avoid this.

There is a better way to handle exception from WCF service and send those exception to Silverlight client if you really want to receive exceptions at client end.

Follow the below step

[DataContract]
public class CustomException
{
   
      public CustomException(Exception ex)
     {
          this.Message=ex.Message;
         this.StackTrace=ex.StackTrace;
      }
      public string Message{get;set;}
   
     public string StackTrace{get;set;}
 
 
}


[OperationContract]
public int Divide(int a, int b,out CustomException ServiceError)
{
        try
       {
            ServiceError=null;/*out parameter must be assigned inside the method*/
            return a/b;
       }
      catch(Exception ex)
     {
          ServiceError=new CustomException(ex);
          return -1;
     }
}

while in the completed method you have to check something like this

if(e.ServiceError==null)/*this means there is no error in the service*/
 {
           
 }
else
{
///////////////this means service has got error
/*Notify the user if you want to inform of perform whatever you want in case of error*/
MessageBox.Show(e.ServieError.Message);
}

Let me know your comments and Suggestion on this.

Cheers!
