Hi All,
One of my customers is having issues with one of the VB6 software packages we
develop.
They are running Server 2008 R2 with Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Server),
with native 2008 load balancing.
I believe it is a virtual server running in VMWare on a Redhat box.

Hi Arian,
Have you checked all the dependencies are the same as your test bed's
versions ?

Yeah. They all get included in a MSI package.
So they will be same on both machines

But did you check that? If they had "newer" versions the msi wouldn't
update shared components etc.

Hi!
>From the more experienced programmers here, when is it appropriate to
create custom exceptions?
I am finding a mix of opinions around.
eg. I have a class which generates reports. Part of the process is to
create a directory if it does not already exist. If the create
directory fails several
Does the user of the class specify the directory? Or is this hidden from them?
If the former, it's entirely appropriate to throw IOExceptions because that's
what they would expect. If the later, then throw the custom exception.

Hi Bec,
I try to approach these problems pragmatically. I'm unaware of your development
environment, deadlines etc. So, pragmatically I say just to do the bare minimum
to start with. For me that would be to let the caller of the class handle the
exceptions they care about. Once you have some fe
Well actually its currently the former, the caller passes in the temp
directory for the report generator to use. I did it like this because
the report generator is a separate assembly (a class library) so the
caller reads the configured value from the app.config and passes it in
to the library. Is
Note that if you use the latter approach then you should always include
the original exception as an inner exception to the
ReportGenerationException.
It's very frustrating to debug an application and get a general
exception that doesn't include all the information you need or at least
could have
Yes, no doubt on this one - always wrap the original exception inside
the custom one

The general rule is
1. if you can't handle the exception don't.
2. If you are doing business logic throw a custom exception for when you need
to fail a process.
3. Inherit from exception and do not use application exception.
I think your code falls into rule 1.
