Question

I have the following code in WCF service to throw a custom fault based on certain situations. I am getting a ‘The creator of this fault did not specify a Reason’ exception. What am I doing wrong?

//source code if(!DidItPass) {     InvalidRoutingCodeFault fault = new InvalidRoutingCodeFault('Invalid Routing Code - No Approval Started');     throw new FaultException<InvalidRoutingCodeFault>(fault); }  //operation contract [OperationContract] [FaultContract(typeof(InvalidRoutingCodeFault))] bool MyMethod();  //data contract [DataContract(Namespace='http://myuri.org/Simple')] public class InvalidRoutingCodeFault {     private string m_ErrorMessage = string.Empty;      public InvalidRoutingCodeFault(string message)     {         this.m_ErrorMessage = message;     }      [DataMember]     public string ErrorMessage     {         get { return this.m_ErrorMessage; }         set { this.m_ErrorMessage = value; }     } }

After some addtional research, the following modified code worked:

if(!DidItPass) {         InvalidRoutingCodeFault fault = new InvalidRoutingCodeFault('Invalid Routing Code - No Approval Started');         throw new FaultException<InvalidRoutingCodeFault>(fault, new FaultReason('Invalid Routing Code - No Approval Started')); }
