Microsoft Graph SDK - Patch operation result

Question

Hi,

I need to update users via Graph SDK. It is working fine but I would like to detect when/if errors occur

I'm doing something similar to the SDK documentation samples but the operation result (althouh it succeeds) is always null
var myResult = await graphClient.Users[userId].Request().UpdateAsync(userUpdate);

Since myResult is always null, how can I detect if the update failed? Has to be via try/catch?

Yes, you want to handle the error, when your results are null/empty, you have to use try /catch for error handling

if you want to know, how to use try /catch, you can see similar questions, where it explains in detail - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62438792/microsoft-graph-error-responses-how-to-extract-http-status-code-and-inner-erro
