Re: Need help with ApplicationException

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Okay, I'm assuming that somewhere in this employee object stored in a
session variable is the "userid name." If so, and you're creating your own
custom Exception class (why are you inheriting ApplicationException instead
of Exception?), you can create a field named "userid" in the custom
Exception class, and implement a constructor method that includes the
"userid" as a parameter. Then in your Try/Catch (you ARE using Try/Catch,
aren't you???), you do something like the following:

catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new MyCustomException(ex.Message, ex,
((employee)Session["CurrentEmployee"]).userid);
}

Of course, what you do with your new Custom Exception is up to you, but I
hope you get the idea.
