Question

I need to show the InnerException message if there is one and if not then i need to show the Message of the primary exception

Here’s what i’ve got

Dim err As System.Exception = Server.GetLastError

If err.InnerException.Message = "" Then

Dim ErrorDetails As String = err.Message

Else

Dim ErrorDetails As String = err.InnerException.Message

End If

But i’m getting errors

Any ideas?

Thanks

Jamie

You should probably declare your variable in the outer scope, and also check for Nothing instead of empty message string.

Dim ErrorDetails As String
Dim err As System.Exception = Server.GetLastError

If err.InnerException Is Nothing Then

  ErrorDetails = err.Message

Else

  ErrorDetails = err.InnerException.Message

End If
