Nicely format an exception into a string
You should get all of this by simply calling the .ToString()
method of the exception. We use this to log information and you get everything that I believe you are asking for. See MSDN System.Exception.ToString()
for more information.

I'd like to build a nicely formatted string of a exception for logging. Doing this from silverlight so options like nlog (not there yet), log4net aren't an option.
Anyone seen the code to build up something like:
ExceptionType: xxxx Message: xxxx StackTrace: XXX InnerException ExceptionType: xxxx Message: xxxx StackTrace: XXX
I'm presently writing it myself, just hoping there's code out there to do something nicer.
UPDATE: I was just about to close this q as I came to the same conclusion as Zach, but not going to deprive Zach of the points! :)
The .ToString() looks like this:
System.Exception: I can't handle this ---> System.DivideByZeroException: Attempted to divide by zero. at MuckingAround.RussTest_Click(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at MuckingAround.RussTest_Click(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) at System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.ButtonBase.OnClick() at System.Windows.Controls.Button.OnClick() at System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.ButtonBase.OnMouseLeftButtonUp(MouseButtonEventArgs e) at System.Windows.Controls.Control.OnMouseLeftButtonUp(Control ctrl, EventArgs e) at MS.Internal.JoltHelper.FireEvent(IntPtr unmanagedObj, IntPtr unmanagedObjArgs, Int32 argsTypeIndex, String eventName)
