How to get the current exception without having passing the variable?
- by Pierre-Alain Vigeant
I am looking for a way to retrieve the current exception without having to pass it as a variable.
Suppose the following code
public void MakeItFail()
{
try
{
throw new FailException();
}
catch // Yes I'm aware that this shouldn't be done, but I don't want to go through all the code base and change it
{
ShowMessage("An error occured");
}
}
public void ShowMessage(string message)
{
// How can I retrieve the exception here
}
In the watch window, I can use $exception to get the current exception. Is there is a code equivalent?
