Vista - Using Enterprise Library 4.0 Exception Handling Application Block

Hi,

I have previously used EL v 3.1 Exception Handling application block
successfully. I thought I would now try to do the same with EL v 4.0. My
first experiment was to replace an exception.


I created a project and added the following references -

1/ Enterprise Library Exception Handling Application Block v 4.0
(Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling.dll)
2/ Enterprise Library Shared v 4.0
(Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll)
3/ Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder v 1.0.51206.0 (then I tried version 2
as well)(Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder.dll)

I then used the Configuration Manager to create the app.config file and add
the
Replace Handler to my new policy.

I then added simple code in my application (see below) that uses the
ExceptionPolicy.HandleException of EL.

Unfortunately I get the error below and I can't figure out what is wrong.

Please can someone point me in the right direction. I really would
appreciate any help.

Kind regards,

Polly Anna



Application Code -

Dim i, j, k As Decimal
Dim booRethrow As Boolean

Try
i = 1
j = 0
k = i / j

Catch ex As Exception
Try


booRethrow = ExceptionPolicy.HandleException(ex, "Replace
Policy")
If booRethrow Then Throw

txtMessage.Text = ex.ToString


Catch ex2 As Exception
txtMessage.Text = ex2.ToString
End Try
End Try
End Sub

Should have read the exception message closer - it tells you exactly what
the issue is.

Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling.WCF,
Version=4.0.0.0,It can't locate an assembly with that assembly name with the types specified
in your app.config file. Typically with the exception handling block in Ent
Lib people reference the correct assemblys in order to implement it in their
applications but forget to deploy the other assemblies that it needs with
it. Since your application isn't referencing the
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling.WCF.dll directly
when it's trying to log the exception it can't find the assembly inside the
bin folder you told it to use in your config file.
