how to show proper exception in VBScriptEngine

[Narasimhara]

hi All,

We have some scripts were there are exceptions. so we have to show proper exceptions. Could you please let me know how to show proper exceptions:

Actual Code:
try
{
engine.Invoke(FunctionName);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.Message); // not showing proper message
}

the expectation is:

Hi @Narasimhara,

You could try something like this:

catch (Exception exception) {
    var baseException = exception.GetBaseException();
    if (baseException is IScriptEngineException scriptEngineException) {
        MessageBox.Show(scriptEngineException.ErrorDetails);
    } else {
        MessageBox.Show(baseException.Message);
    }
}

Good luck!

Thanks for the help. but it is showing as below, not getting exact information. Could you please help me in this.

Hmm, it's very odd that there's no error message. Can you provide a minimal sample of the failing code?

As for the stack trace, Windows script engines only provide detailed error information when debugging is enabled. Are you passing WindowsScriptEngineFlags.EnableDebugging to the script engine constructor?

Thanks!

Thanks for the help after adding EnableDebugging to true it worked for me. Thanks so much for the help.
