Exception Handling in .net web apps

Question

I admit it: I don\'t bother with too much exception handling. I know I should do more but I can never wrap my head around where to start and where to stop. I\'m not being lazy.

Microsoft's Patterns & Practices team did a good job incorporating best practices of exception management into Enterprise Library Exception Handling Application Block

Event if wouldn't use Enterprise Library, I highly recommend you to read their documentation. P&P team describes common scenarios and best practices for exceptions handling.

To get you started I recommend read following articles:

• Exception Handling on MSDN
• Exception Management in .NET on MSDN
• Exception Handling Best Practices in .NET on CodeProject

ASP.NET specific articles:

• User Friendly ASP.NET Exception Handling
• Global Exception Handling with ASP.NET
• Exception handling in C# and ASP .Net
