Many work places block photo sites like that. If you had your own web page and posted it there, it would be different.

Well isn't it the implementation and thus the programmers who are responsible for this? Exceptions per se do not encourage or discourage bad practices.

I get the same thing. It sites it as personal storage. It's bureaucracy at it's finest. It makes them feel safer.

But can you go here[^]? That's a web site on my own home server.

Ahh, but my company block outgoing ftp access, so I can't upload anything to my website from work. :laugh: Bit stuck there. [Actually I've been thinking about writing something for a while that processes and caches content from my dropbox account and includes it in my website - It would mean I could make updates easily from anywhere with a web connection]

Perhaps they meant "See the inner exception for details, if any exist."

Here's my educated guess on what happened. It looks like this is a server-side exception in a WCF connection. I'll bet that the inner exception is something that you threw on the server side, but its not serializable, and so it comes through as null to the client. If you ever throw just "new Exception()" then it won't be serializable. Always use something that inherits from ApplicationException.
