Hi All,

I think this is an easy one - I am using a DataServiceContext in a C# client application - if there is an exception, for example when calling SaveChanges, is there any function I can call client-side to get the details of the exception?

when using a WP7 client I noticed the debugger seems to show more info - for example 'Failed because Property X cannot be null',

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Hi All,

In case anyone has the same problem, decorate the service class with the following attribute:

[System.ServiceModel.ServiceBehavior(IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults = true)]

For further info you can also add the following to the web.config file:

XML

<system.diagnostics>
  <sources>
    <source name="System.ServiceModel"
            switchValue="Information, ActivityTracing"


            propagateActivity="true">
      <listeners>
        <add name="traceListener"
            type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener"
            initializeData= "c:\log\Traces.svclog" />
      </listeners>
    </source>
  </sources>
</system.diagnostics>
