I need to implement an automated exception report system... it's about time!

Posted on March 8th

I use the Exception Handling Block from PAG, so exceptions anywhere in my application generate a nice (full of data) XML file for me to use after the fact to track down the problem... but that file gets written to the user's local machine... so I have to ask folks to send it to me via email. What I need to implement is some system to upload those reports to me either automatically or on-demand.... Perhaps on application start I should check for the existance of an 'exception file', ask the user if they would like to submit a bug report into our bug tracking software... attach the file and then delete it?

Yeah, that might work...

That sound like a good way to do it.

Another cool idea might be to try to plug into Dr Watson (I'm not even sure if that's possible, just a thought). That tries to upload a log when an unhandled exception occurs in a program. Might be something worth looking into.
