Question

I’m embedding IronPython 2.0 in C#. In IronPython, I defined my own exception with:

def foobarException(Exception):     pass  

and raise it somewhere with:

raise foobarException( 'This is the Exception Message' ) 

Now in C#, I have:

try {    callIronPython(); } catch (Exception e) {    // How can I determine the name (foobarException) of the Exception    // that is thrown from IronPython?       // With e.Message, I get 'This is the Exception Message' } 

Answer 1

My final solution was:

I have a result class in C# which is passed to my ironpython code. In Ironpython I fill the result class with all my computed values. To this class I just added a member variable IronPythonExceptionName. Now I just have a simple try in IronPython:

try:      complicatedIronPythonFunction() except Exception, inst:     result.IronPythonExceptionName = inst.__class__.__name__     raise inst
