RE: Concerns about exception string revealing internals/data about

Hi KTJ,

Can you tell me what controls you are using in your scenario? Do you use
the build-in controls in SQL Server2000 or .Net winform/Asp.net controls?

I think this is the implementation specific. Based on my experience, if the
underlying provider really incoporates well with the underlying database, I
think the provider will encapsulate enough internal information regarding
in the .Net exception. So the upper layer code can get enough information
in the exception object. The upper layer code only reads the exception
object, no matter the upper controls are Microsoft or not, the result is
the same. The information is determined by the underlying provider. I think
most good providers will provide the information you wanted.

Do you meet the scenario that the Microsoft provider does not provide the
information your wanted?

Actually, I am not an ADO.net expert. Since this newsgroup mainly focuses
on CLR related runtime issues, I recommend you post your questions in:
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet --- if your wanted information
about data provider in .Net side(your controls refer to .Net controls)
microsoft.public.sqlserver.server --- if you are using SQL Server controls

There will be more data related experts in these newsgroup. Thanks for your
understanding.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
