c# - Using Exception.Data

Question

How have you used the Exception.Data property in C# projects that you've worked on?

I'd like answers that suggest a pattern, rather than those that are very specific to your app.

Answer 1

The exception logger I use has been tweaked to write out all the items in the Data collection. Then for every exception we encounter that we cannot diagnose from the exception stack, we add in all the data in that function's scope, send out a new build, and wait for it to reoccur.

I guess we're optimists in that we don't put it in every function, but we are pessimists in that we don't take it out once we fix the issue.
