Exception block

[J-T]

I'd like to use Exception block for my asp.net application,but apparently
there are two things available now:
1)Old exception block
2) exception block represented in enterprise library.

I thought I read somewhere they are not using ApplicationException anymore
in Elib and I don;t want to use Elib as the only thing I need is an
Exception block.

Is there someone who can help me finding my path?

Thanks a lot

Hi J-T:

You can pick just the pieces / projects you need from EL - no need to
swallow the whole pill.

 

[J-T]

But as far as I know all tghe application blocks are kind of dependant on
the Configuration block.Is that true?

 

[Scott Allen]

That is true.

 

[J-T]

So it means that I have to use configuration block as well.I need kind of
independant one.

Thanks

Scott,

You didn't follow up my other post"Application_End method of Global.asax and
Shutting down an asp.net application",did you? I didn't get the final answer
from you.My problem was:

I have my applciation installed in an appplication pool (a worker
process) -IIS 6.0-which is defined to be shut down after 20 minutes of being
idle.If I put a breakpoint in Application_End method of Global.asax and
there is no request for 20 minutes ,it never gets hit!!! Why is that so?

Is there a document which can gives me more infomration in this behaviour?


Thanks

HI J-T:

No, I didn't follow up - I honestly I can't think of what the problem
would be. I've tried this myself by setting the timeout to one minute
for the application pool hosting my ASP.NET application, and the
breakpoint I have set in Application_End will be hit.

I wonder why you are not seeing the same behavior...

 

[J-T]

Do you run your ASP.NET application in windows 2003 and IIS 6.0?

Thanks

 

[Scott Allen]

Yes - I use Win2003 on my development machine.

 

[J-T]

I start the application from VS 2003,the application starts ,but it never
bring the aspx page up!!! then when I enter
http://localhost/myapp/mypage.aspx,it is there and works fine.In this way I
can not debug it.Can it be the problem?

Thanks

 

[Scott Allen]

Hmm - can you set a break point in an ASPX page?

 

[J-T]

Yes,Scott all the breakpoints get hit except the one which is in
Application_End.I've set "Shut down worker process if idle..." of the
application pool to 1 minue.Never hits the breakpoint in
application_End!!!

that's funny
Thanks Scott for following this up.
