Answer 1

For people who don't want to mess with overriding, this simple non-intrusive method might be enough:

    public static string GetExceptionDetails(Exception exception)
    {
        return "Exception: " + exception.GetType()
            + "\r\nInnerException: " + exception.InnerException
            + "\r\nMessage: " + exception.Message
            + "\r\nStackTrace: " + exception.StackTrace;
    }

It does not show the SQLException-specific details you want, though...
