Hi guys

I have an ASP.NET app in the DMZ and have an occassional issue where one application will drop the db connection during a request. Network team says "everything is perfect" . So I'd handle it within the Application_Error section and depending on the exception type might attempt a retry myself via Server.Transfer().

Now this has gone away thanks to your transient error strategy - which is awesome!! My question is how can I log these exceptions, so that I can track how often they are occurring?

Thanks, James

Hi James,

One possible way would be to put a trace listener to capture every activity of the transient recovery actions. The category used in such trace is "Transient Error Recovery".

Another possible way is to subclass your recoveryStrategy class (i.e. MyCustomSqlAzureRecoveryStrategy) and write your own code there. You could add an event that raises when a transient error appears, etc.

Hi daelmo

Thanks for the quick response, I would never have considered using a listener.

Cheers, James
