Here's a rather easy way to get a bunch of info from the Exception object: Just add code like this to any potentially exception-throwing methods:

catch (Exception ex)
{
    String exDetail = String.Format(ExceptionFormatString, ex.Message, Environment.NewLine, ex.Source, ex.StackTrace);
    MessageBox.Show(exDetail);
}

The information you get will often be more specific, especially as regards line numbers of where problems are occurring, than you would otherwise see.

You may have noted that the String.Format() uses a constant, namely "ExceptionFormatString". This is a good practice, so that if you want to change it, after adding the above code to 40-eleven methods, you can just change it one place. Anyway, here it is:

public static readonly String ExceptionFormatString = "Exception message: {0}{1}Exception Source: {2}{1}Exception StackTrace: {3}{1}";

Happy Debugging!
