RE: how to view web service exception details

If you mean the full exception inside of Silverlight, yes that's an issue
because be default you're using the browser's HTTP (stack, if you're not out
of the browser).  That stack specifically turns all non-200's into 404's to
protect servers from accidently leaking out error information that could
have security information in it (ok, maybe not on purpose.maybe its just old
code, not sure).  Two options are:

 

-          Change to the Client Stack (Silverlight SDK has lots of details
on how to do this).

-          Always return successes but include in the return payload the
exceptional information.

Subject: [OT] how to view web service exception details

 

  

Is there a visual studio way to view the exception details returned by
a WCF web service when "<serviceDebug
includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />" is used in the web.config of
the project of the web service?

Fiddler is showing me what I need to see. Is all of that exception
detail info captured in a variable somewhere in the client code? All I
see in the exception thrown by the client code is "not found".
