Best way to check for inner exception?

Question

I know sometimes innerException is null

So the following might fail:

 repEvent.InnerException = ex.InnerException.Message; 

Is ther

Answer 1

Sometimes also InnerException has an InnerException, so you can use a recursive function for it:

public string GetInnerException(Exception ex)
{
     if (ex.InnerException != null)
     {
        return string.Format("{0} > {1} ", ex.InnerException.Message, GetInnerException(ex.InnerException));
     }
   return string.Empty;
}
