how to Log DAL exception and showing alert to user when exception occurs?
-
Hi All, I am working on a 3-tier asp.net application. Currently I'm stuck up in a situation where I need to handle a specific type of exception (User Defined) in DAL and Show alert to the user if that exception occurs in DAL. I tried following things: 1) I raised that exception from the DAL and catch it in BLL and throw a new BLL exception to for that DAL exception and finally catch it in the UI layer to show the alert to the user. I've successfully implement this in my project. But there are some issues in this approach. First of all I feel this is not right way to do this as it may lead to performance related issues. Secondly, the application contains more than 500 pages and classes. so I need to attach additional catch block in every method to catch the BLL exception. which is the last option i'd like to take. 2) in second approach I logged the the DAL exception into a text file. but problem in this approach is that how could the UI layer know that exception has occurred and show the alert to the user. Is there any event in asp.net where i could handle all this activities? my question is what is the best approach to handle this type of situation? Will Exception handling block help me in this? I've tried reading many articles on this but i couldn't get an answer for my question? I might not be using right keywords for my search. Thanks in advance, Regards, Paramhans Dubey
