Architecture :: How To Log Dal Exception And Showing Alert To User / Exception Occurs
Aug 3, 2010
I am working on a 3-tier asp.net application. Currently I'm stuck up in a situation where I need to handle a specific type of exception (User Defined) in DAL and Show alert to the user if that exception occurs in DAL.
I tried following things:
1) I raised that exception from the DAL and catch it in BLL and throw a new BLL exception to for that DAL exception and finally catch it in the UI layer to show the alert to the user. I've successfully implement this in my project. But there are some issues in this approach. First of all I feel this is not right way to do this as it may lead to performance related issues. Secondly, the application contains more than 500 pages and classes. so I need to attach additional catch block in every method to catch the BLL exception. which is the last option i'd like to take.
2) in second approach I logged the the DAL exception into a text file. but problem in this approach is that how could the UI layer know that exception has occurred and show the alert to the user. Is there any event in asp.net where i could handle all this activities?
my question is what is the best approach to handle this type of situation? Will Exception handling block help me in this?
I've tried reading many articles on this but i couldn't get an answer for my question? I might not be using right keywords for my search.
In my application I am accessing my DB using simple stored procedure..but My code got exception....while I debug the code I have seen that the code is executed successfully and while the whole try block has been executed then the code call the exception but more ridiculously without any kind of error..here is my code
In ASP.NET should we call Session.Abandon() when an unhandled exception occurs?There are many end users that hit "refresh" or "back" in the web browser in order to resubmit the request.I would like to prevent this behavior by resetting the context.TIA.
using vb.net/asp.net 2005 and SQL Server 2005.I had similar issue yesterday: I created a unique index on a table to prevent duplicates when user tries to edit existing records in a gridview.This works fine and I am seeing the "cannot insert duplicate key row message...." however I need to catch the exception because I do not want to display the table and column names.I have this set up but its not catching the exception, the exception is displaying but not my version, does anyone know in what gridview event and how I can catch and customize this exception? what i have now (but not working ) is:
I'm developing a n-tier architecture... I'm confused with handling exception in the layers... Is it a good practise to add a Exception Layer to the architecture.
My question is, I have a PL, BL and DAL layered architecture (In which all these components are hosted in a single web server).
With the above architecture, i have only placed try catch block in all my events in aspx.cs pages in PL ALONE and NO TRY CATCH BLOCK IN BL AND DAL.
There is one command timeout exception happening at the DAL layer and the exception bubbles back to the PL(aspx page event which is having the try catch block). This try catch block catches the exeption and logs the exception information to database and displays useful information in the UI.
WIth the above approach, sometime very rarely(only once till now) exception is not caught in the PL for the commandtimeout exception thrown from DAL implicitly.I confirmed the exception is not caught because the exception information is not logged into the database and also no useful information displayed in UI.
Why the exception from DAL dint bubble down to PL? Do we need to explicitly throw exception from DAL or BL i.e by having try catch block in BL and DAL ?
In ASP.NET,How can i know the Specific details about an exception (like What kind of Exception it is (FileNotFound /Arithmentc etc..) )from a General Exception class object.
3. Data Access Layer to do the dealing with the database.
Now i have a Contacts page from where i can add a new contact to the database.So to add a New Contact i fill in all the required details and then call a Add Method (residing in the BLL) from the page, which in turn call a Add Method residing in the DAL.this method in the DAL returns the Current Identity of the record which is then return back to the BLL method and finally delivered on the page.this is fine. but what if a get an exception how do i handle it properly because the method in DAL has a return type of int and i dont want to throw another error!! coz other wise i will have to write try catch in almost all the methods.
//something like this public int AddMethod(ContactClass contactObj) { int result = 0;[code]...
rather i want to show the user a user-friendly message which they can easily understand and in the mean while i will send a mail to myself documenting the Error that just occurred.how can i implement my custom exception classes.
I need to design a good exception handling. That can include logging and user friendly error page etc I read more articles and got some ideas. I am not using Enterprise Library now.
Even though I'm trying to implement exception handling in a multi-tiered Windows application, catching and throwing exceptions should be the same for Windows and Web (sans global.asax and web.config custom errors).
I have a webform with a texbox that displays exceptions. So my webform invokes a method in BusinessTier class which then invokes a method in DataTier class. How can I throw my DataTier method exception so it reaches my webform?
Is there any way to uniquely identify a particular exception from the general exception class.
i.e any property or method that retrieves a unique identifier that to identify a particular exception.
I have kept some error values and corresponding error texts in an xml file. I want to read that xml file and have to taken the error ids and fix the corresponding texts to a label. in the case of a system exception we have to identify a particular exception.
We're getting this InternalSubStringWithChecks exception with our application's healthMonitoring. This exception is like the Padding is invalid and cannot be removed exception where it's being recorded and we're getting a notification email but the end user is unaware that an actual error has happened. Though we don't want our event log filled up with this rubbish! The stack trace is:
Parameter name: length at System.String.InternalSubStringWithChecks(Int32 startIndex, Int32 length, Boolean fAlwaysCopy) at System.Web.Handlers.AssemblyResourceLoader.System.Web.IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest [code]...
I have simple 3 tier web application and have mostly CRUDE functionalities. Recently I required to add new console application to the existing solution in which I call data layer methods for retrieving data from DB but I get an exception "The type initializer for threw an exception."When I debugged I found that the exception is thrown at datalayer on first line of class where I get connectionstring from
web.config, the code is public static readonly string CONNECT_STRING =
Now if I hardcode the connection string value like public static readonly string CONNECT_STRING = "Data Source=XYZ;uid=sa;password=XXX;initial catalog=ABC;"
it works fine.I don't understand what is the issue here as web application works fine with this datalayer.
I have an ASPX page where I want to show an error id when an unhandled error occurs. So I throw an Exception with an error id. However all the user sees is an "Internal Server Error 500" from IIS/ASP-NET Dev. How can I control this? I want the user to either see my Exception.
