threads or asynchronous programming inside asp.net

[Anders Both]

Does someone know´s about using threads and/or asynchronous programming
inside asp.net (inside the asp.net process). I am here not speaking about
the thing that the IIS makes new threads for each request, but about
starting a thread inside the asp.net process.
I am making big use of this thing in my applikation, but I have the problem
that when exceptions/errors uccur no message is bein showed. When VS is
running a wery undetaild message shows up (no line number filename or
anything, just the name of the exception). When VS is not running no message
appears at all.
I hope someone have a good advice, or that maybe someone knows a place where
I can see some kind of detailed (event)log for all that is going on in the
asp.net process.

Best Regards
Anders Both, Denmark.

There are any number of ways to accomplish what you want. First, you should
use structured exception handling in your code. When an exception occurs,
simply write the Exception message and optionally a Stack Trace to the
server's event log. Whatever else you want to do is up to you, but this will
at least give you an event log entry telling you what went wrong.

In addition, as the spawned threads have access to the class which spawned
them, you can set properties in the calling class when an exception occurs.

Yes, and thx.

But the problem is more during developing, and during devoloping I dont
catch all exception my self.

If you're talking about running in the debugger, it is true that the
debugger won't step into the child threads that are spawned. However, you
can put a breakpoint into the child thread's code, and the child thread will
break there.
