Enables the creation of a custom FaultException<TDetail> that is returned from an exception in the course of a service method.

public:
 void ProvideFault(Exception ^ error, System::ServiceModel::Channels::MessageVersion ^ version, System::ServiceModel::Channels::Message ^ % fault);

public void ProvideFault (Exception error, System.ServiceModel.Channels.MessageVersion version, ref System.ServiceModel.Channels.Message fault);

abstract member ProvideFault : Exception * System.ServiceModel.Channels.MessageVersion * Message -> unit

Public Sub ProvideFault (error As Exception, version As MessageVersion, ByRef fault As Message)

Parameters

error: Exception

The Exception object thrown in the course of the service operation.

version: MessageVersion

The SOAP version of the message.

fault: Message

The Message object that is returned to the client, or service, in the duplex case.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates a service that implements IErrorHandler that returns only FaultException<TDetail> of type GreetingFault when a service method throws a managed exception.

#region IErrorHandler Members
public bool HandleError(Exception error)
{
  Console.WriteLine("HandleError called.");
  // Returning true indicates you performed your behavior.
  return true;
}

// This is a trivial implementation that converts Exception to FaultException<GreetingFault>.
public void ProvideFault(
  Exception error,
  MessageVersion ver,
  ref Message msg
)
{
  Console.WriteLine("ProvideFault called. Converting Exception to GreetingFault....");
  FaultException<GreetingFault> fe
    = new FaultException<GreetingFault>(new GreetingFault(error.Message));
  MessageFault fault = fe.CreateMessageFault();
  msg = Message.CreateMessage(
    ver,
    fault,
    "http://microsoft.wcf.documentation/ISampleService/SampleMethodGreetingFaultFault"
  );
}
#endregion

#Region "IErrorHandler Members"
Public Function HandleError(ByVal [error] As Exception) As Boolean Implements IErrorHandler.HandleError
  Console.WriteLine("HandleError called.")
  ' Returning true indicates you performed your behavior.
  Return True
End Function

' This is a trivial implementation that converts Exception to FaultException<GreetingFault>.
Public Sub ProvideFault(ByVal [error] As Exception, ByVal ver As MessageVersion, ByRef msg As Message) Implements IErrorHandler.ProvideFault
  Console.WriteLine("ProvideFault called. Converting Exception to GreetingFault....")
  Dim fe As New FaultException(Of GreetingFault)(New GreetingFault([error].Message))
  Dim fault As MessageFault = fe.CreateMessageFault()
  msg = Message.CreateMessage(ver, fault, "http://microsoft.wcf.documentation/ISampleService/SampleMethodGreetingFaultFault")
End Sub
#End Region

The following code example shows how to use a service behavior to add the IErrorHandler implementation to the ErrorHandlers property.

{
  Console.WriteLine("The EnforceGreetingFaultBehavior has been applied.");
  foreach(ChannelDispatcher chanDisp in serviceHostBase.ChannelDispatchers)
  {
    chanDisp.ErrorHandlers.Add(this);
  }
}

// This behavior requires that the contract have a SOAP fault with a detail type of GreetingFault.

The following code example shows how to configure the service to load the service behavior using an application configuration file. For more details about how to expose a service behavior in a configuration file, see IServiceBehavior.

<configuration>
  <system.serviceModel>
    <services>
      <service 
        name="Microsoft.WCF.Documentation.SampleService"

Remarks

Implement the ProvideFault method to create a custom fault message that is returned to the client. The ProvideFault method will always be called for exceptions that leave operations, except when the WCF runtime recognizes the exception as especially fatal and rethrows the exception itself. When all ProvideFault implementations have been called, the fault message is sent back to the client (if fault is non-null). If the fault parameter is null the default fault is sent to the client.

Note

The inbound message that caused the processing error is available during this method from the OperationContext.RequestContext property.

Note

Because the ProvideFault method can be called from many different places there are no guarantees made about which thread the method is called on. Do not depend on ProvideFault method being called on the operation thread.
