Silverlight exception not being handled with JS


I am debugging Silverlight 2 on Firefox. I get an unhandled error in firebug:

Unhandled Error in Silverlight 2 Application

points to Silverlight.js line 26 which is

control = new ActiveXObject('AgControl.AgControl');

my html is

Why is it not getting handled in JS and being displayed in errorLocation?
Also sorry my formatting sucks.


Solution

  • Came up with a solution
    Went to the App.xaml.cs file and reworked the Unhandled_Exception Function

    With that and a bit of call this JS it was easy

    private void Application_UnhandledException(object sender, ApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
        {
            // If the app is running outside of the debugger then report the exception using
            // the browser's exception mechanism. On IE this will display it a yellow alert 
            // icon in the status bar and Firefox will display a script error.
    
    
            // NOTE: This will allow the application to continue running after an exception has been thrown
            // but not handled. 
            // For production applications this error handling should be replaced with something that will 
            // report the error to the website and stop the application.
            e.Handled = true;
    
            try
            {
                ThrowRightError(e.ExceptionObject);
                //System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.Window.Eval("throw new Error(\"Unhandled Error in Silverlight  a 2 Application " + errorMsg + "\");");
            }
            catch
            {
            }
    
        }
        private void ReportErrorToDOM(ApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                ThrowRightError(e.ExceptionObject);
                //System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.Window.Eval("throw new Error(\"Unhandled Error in Silverlight 2 Application " + errorMsg + "\");");
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
            }
        }
    
        private void ThrowRightError(Exception e)
        {
            string errorMsg = "";
            var exLayer = -1;
            //errorMsg += String.Format("<br>Layer {0}<hr>", exLayer);
            Exception ex2 = e;
            while (ex2 != null)
            {
                errorMsg += "Message : <br />" + ex2.Message + "<br />Data :<br />" + ex2.Data + "<br />StackTrace :<br />" + ex2.StackTrace;
                exLayer++;
                errorMsg += String.Format("<br>Layer {0}<hr>", exLayer);
                ex2 = ex2.InnerException;
            }
            errorMsg = errorMsg.Replace('"', '\'').Replace("\r\n", @"<br />");
    
            HtmlPage.Window.CreateInstance("foo2", new[] { errorMsg });
        }
    

    then for the JS

    function foo2(theAlert) {
         $("#errorLocation").html(theAlert);
    }
    

    I also figured out what the original error was

    ClientIdTextBlock.SetBinding(TextBox.TextProperty, ClientIdBinding);
    

    A textBox binding for a TextBlock...stupid mistake.
