Public Property IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true if Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) returns managed exception information in the SOAP faults for client-side debugging purposes; otherwise, false. The default is false.

Attributes

ConfigurationPropertyAttribute

Remarks

If you set the IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults property to true programmatically, you can enable the flow of managed exception information to the client for debugging purposes, as well as the publication of HTML information files for users browsing the service in Web browsers.

Caution

Returning managed exception information to services can be a security risk. This is because exception details expose information about the internal client implementation that could be used by unauthorized services.
