We have many questions here about stack traces and analyzing exceptions that have been thrown.
I am using RedGate Reflector to examine the workings of some .net classes. In particular, I am looking at the ConnectionString property of the System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection object. Reflector indicates that this property may throw an ArgumentException if an invalid connection string is supplied.
My question is: given that this property may throw this particular exception, how can I analyze the code to find where the exception might be thrown from? The property calls another function to set the value. This function does not throw the ArgumentException directly. I want to know how I can find where this exception might be thrown from.
I haven’t used it but you might look at Jason Bock’s ExceptionFinder for Reflector
