Using Try Catch in Browser Enabled Forms

[Paul D. Fox]

If I cannot use the "MessageBox" in a browser enabled form, what is the best
method when using the "Try Catch" when an error has occured? What do you
show in the Catch?

What type of exceptions are you catching? .Net exceptions, i.e. stack
overflow, null reference etc or business logic exceptions.

There is not a public API for hooking into the error dialog that InfoPath
shows. I would recommend writing to ULS or to the event log for .NET type of
exceptions.

For business logic exceptions is it possible to capture these in InfoPath
rules/validation?

I want to catch .NET exceptions such as a query of Active Directory. What
if it fails, I'd like to notify the user in some way. I'm not familiar with
ULS, but I guess I could write to the event log too.
