Worst Exception!!

Is this the same like BYOD? What I really like is BYOB (bring your own bottle) :-)

We had an external consultant, and he implemented a very meaningfull error message for all type of errors: "An Error occured"

That is so you fix the problem (i.e. plug in a keyboard) before trying to use the computer.

"There was an error reading the document" – Adobe's PDF reader when there is an error in your PDF, anywhere in the document. It won't tell you which object or page the error was on, never mind what you actually did wrong.

I (think I) see what you did there :-\

I'm brazilian and english (well, human languages in general) aren't my best skill, so, sorry by my english. (if you want we can speak in C# or VB.Net =p) "Given the chance I'd rather work smart than work hard." - PHS241 "'Sophisticated platform' typically means 'I have no idea how it works.'"

The fact you commented, says you did. Obviously, you and I are more subtle than the others. :-D

Yes they are, but when they happen, it means I screwed up as the developer. So, I really hate to see them. "I am rarely happier than when spending entire day programming my computer to perform automatically a task that it would otherwise take me a good ten seconds to do by hand." - Douglas Adams

Do you work in the Department of Redundancy department? ABEND means "Abnormal End" ... there was no "Abnormal ABEND".

Oracle also has a really informative kind of Exception: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [12333], [205], [70], [164], [], [], [], []

[Jorgen Andersson]

In my circles BYOB would definitely be an exception. Except as a present.

Apple used to give ones like An error of type 10 occurred because an error of type 10 occurred.

object reference not set to an instance of an object

This exception message is not useful at all. It would be nice if it gives the object name.

I guess the worst exception I have seen is the "uncaught exception"... That one who calls std::terminate() and then calls abort() :P Saludos!! ____ichr@mm :wq

[KLSmith]

Seems to me that worst is being interpreted as either: nonsensical, useless (programmer too lazy to write a meaningful message), or a dreaded message, where something bad really did happen. Here is a nonsensical one: One recent message in my Windows-7 system event log was The service failed to start. Reason: The service finished successfully.

[scosta_FST]

"Catastrophic error" is a real message I've seen years ago, from Windows XP.

[BrainiacV]

Hahahaha...Reminds me of a COBOL program I wrote in high school. I tried to write a COBOL without the temporary storage. I tried to go from the input field directly to the output field. My one (or two) page program generated 200 pages of error messages.
