Exceptions in ASP.NET Dynamic Data

Question

I have an ASP.NET Dynamic Data application (using Entity Framework) in which I have just discovered a duplicate key error when attempting a database insert. However, I had to use SQL Profiler to find the error. The insert template page just silently did nothing.

How can I trap errors like this and log them and maybe display a message?

Exceptions can be detected, if not caught, in the CUD event arguments on the DetailsView and the DataSource controls, e.g. events such as DetailsView_ItemInserted, and DetailsDataSource_Inserting have Exception Exception and bool ExceptionHandled properties for handling exceptions.

If you are handling the exception, make sure to set the ExceptionHandled property to True so that it responds back to the front end correctly. – StingyJack Jul 11 '13 at 21:03

Another approach that you could implement in Dynamic Data site is using a custom derived DynamicValidator control.
