I can't test that code, but at first glance, you cannot touch the OutputTB nor the progressBar from the Task. All method and property access on controls must be done from the startup (UI) thread.

I have an existing code base, which we catch exceptions etc.
Does anyone know if there is a way to list all the exceptions that either the code catches or raises so that I can do a review? reason for the review is the result of a pen test, which they flagged that the responses had too much details inside the exception.

I'd probably use Notepad++ to do a File Content search for "Catch" and "Throw" on my project folder

Thanks, was wondering there was a clever way to do this but sadly not.

VS can do a "Find in files" across a whole project or solution, and that can be a regex. So "\scatch\s" and "\sthrow\s" would find and list them all in the "Find" pane (which can be copied to the clipboard) or double clicked to go to each in turn)

In my experience the most interesting exceptions are the ones we do not throw or catch ourselves, but we get for free by calling some CLR class. Example: Image.FromFile() can throw an OutOfMemoryException when the file's format isn't recognized! Now how do you make sure your code base handles that properly???

Thanks Luc,
the reason I was asking is that we have a task from the security team who pen tested a platform we released. to review all the messages that are returned by the platform to mobile devices.
this main api in this platform is large and requires a lot of reading and was wondering if I could in a automated fashion return on the exceptions rather than used human eye.

Log them in FirstChanceException. Have a white / black dictionary / list as you work through them.
Quote: This event is only a notification. Handling this event does not handle the exception or affect subsequent exception handling in any way. After the event has been raised and event handlers have been invoked, the common language runtime (CLR) begins to search for a handler for the exception. FirstChanceException provides the application domain with a first chance to examine any managed exception.

Look at the points where you expose data from the backend (typically a REST service or similar). If an exception is raised, you generally speaking just return "500 Internal Server error" without any further details - and (very important) log those details on the server.
In case you use exception to trigger responses like like "404 NOT FOUND" you need to make sure they do not show stack traces or internal details as well.
This is typically done in a central place in the response handler of the API so it will automatically kick in for any exception raised - you need to write this code and test it so you trust it no matter which exception is raised from the lower levels of the code. Then you do not need to hunt your entire code base for possible exceptions - which is an impossible task anyway as some system exceptions can be raised from anywhere.
Java tried to get the code to declare all exceptions so you could track it down (checked exceptions) but it was not a great success.
UPDATE: And make sure you only catch exceptions in 2 cases:
1) When you can FIX the issue - i.e. no error will be returned to the client, and hence no information will be leaked. Example: You want to read some data from a disk cache. If the read throws an exception catch it and recalculate the data.
2) When you can throw an exception with more details. Example: You try to read the data but the exception just says "Access denied". You know what you where trying to read and which user you where running as, so catch it and throw a new exception adding these datails - keeping the original exception as inner exception.

Isn't there an option to hide that?

Probably, but hard to say without any details. I am surprised it is not the default behavior of whatever framework he is using, so maybe the default was just changed to make it easier to debug. In ASP.NET you do for example get the "to read the error details, change this setting" message - and someone not understanding the impact might just have followed these instructions. In that case the only thing he needs to do is revert that setting. But I am not going to google the solution to every imaginable framework out there, just because the poster forgot to mention what they are using.

It is hidden by default because of hackers.
Details should be hidden if it is not on localhost.

If you go and do a "replace all"..
..then have your exceptions inherit from a custom class inheriting from Exception. For logging, use FirstChanceException as suggested by Gerry; it will show a lot more than the exceptions you throw yourself.

That process would need to find that those in all of the libraries that you use also.
Simon_Whale wrote: reason for the review is the result of a pen test,
Probably because you have an API and you are returning the exception stack trace as part of the API error handling. The solution to that is the following
1. Catch all exceptions so "catch(Exception e)" in your API layer.
2. Log the exception. You should of course already be doing this.
3. Return an error result from the API. Do not return the exception. Probably 500. But over time you can differentiate this in the error handling code.
I would suggest that you also create an id and log that as well and return that as part of the error message. That way you can track an error reported from a caller back to the specific log entry. You can use a GUID but it is going to be more user friendly, especially if a UI is involved, if you create a simple id. It can rotate over time because the context of the error (when reported) is enough to localize in the logs.

C# >= 4
Curious to know if you've had to deal with the issues described here.
1) assume you have a generic method of Type T
2) in that method a Func<IEnumerable<T>, IEnumerable<T>> is called on an IEnumerable of T
3) the result of calling the func is in a variable 'temp ... when you examine 'temp in the Command Window at run-time after hitting a break-point:
> ? temp
{System.Linq.Enumerable.WhereListIterator<int>}
Current: 0
Results View: Expanding the Results View will enumerate the IEnumerable
> ? temp == null
false
> ? temp == default
false
> ? temp is null
false
> ? temp.Any()
false
> ? temp.Count()
04) in the case where the Func call results in no content (no items)
4a) you want to evaluate whether 'temp has any "items" ... i.e., has a Count of #0 (as shown above)
4b) but, you do not want to trigger iteration/enumeration of 'temp by calling Count()
I have read that .Any() will not cause iteration in this very interesting SO thread: [^].
And, on the same thread: [^]: is mention of a new C#6 Linq function 'TryGetNonEnumeratedCount

There is no way to do it in general, not even in theory.
TryGetNonEnumeratedCount is neat, but only actually outputs the count when it is called on a collection that knows its count. For general enumerables such as WhereListIterator, it returns false. So OK, it doesn't evaluate the enumerable, but it also doesn't help.
Any on a WhereListIterator has to evaluate until it finds an element or runs out of input. There's nothing else it could do. BTW Any includes TryGetNonEnumeratedCount-like tricks, examining the type of the object it is called on, and if it is an ICollection then it just checks whether its count is zero (there are additional details but they don't help here either), but those tricks cannot apply to a filtered enumerable.
If there was any method that could in general predict whether a filtered enumerable is going to have anything in it (without iterating through it), that would have strange implications. It would act as a powerful oracle (of the theoretical computer science variety) that can extract information from a black box function without ever actually evaluating the function. Spooky.

thanks, Harold, as I'd expect from you, a very thoughtful reply.
I've found very little documentation on 'TryGetNonEnumeratedCount so far. My impression in the SO thread cited is that this new Linq method is somehow more efficient.
Given .Any short-circuits when it encounters a first instance: I find myself wondering if under-the-hood .Any is in any way more "efficient" in a function that returns an IEnumerable ... compared to invoking Count().
In this context: in a loop where a series of functions are called in sequence, and the goal is to exit the loop when any function returns an empty IEnumerable ... .Any can be used while testing for null or == default are useless.
cheers, Bill
