ASP.NET application - Debugging Steps to take


An application I developed completely crashes about 2 times a week. When it crashes it takes down the entire application until the Application Pool is Recycled. I can not reproduce the error in the development environment.

Below I have pasted the code that causes the crash and the error message from the application event viewer. The line that crashes the app starts with ~~~~. The message states that I have an open DataReader but I checked my code and I always close my data reader and connection.

I don't know what steps I should take to solve this bug. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

 public bool open() {
        //-- check if connection is closed
        if (this.dbconn.State == System.Data.ConnectionState.Closed) {
            try {
                this.dbconn.Open();
            }
            catch (Exception ex) {
                this.errorCode = (int)DatabaseErrorType.DBOpenFailed;
                this.errorMessage = System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(ex.Message);
                throw ex;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }

/// <summary> closes connection object</summary>
    public bool close() {
        if (!(this.dbconn == null)) {

                    this.dbconn.Close();
                }
                catch (Exception ex) {
                    this.errorCode = (int)DatabaseErrorType.DBCloseFailed;

Solution

  • The issue was that I had a try finally block in my code. Within a handled exception, the associated finally block is guaranteed to be run. However, if the exception is unhandled, execution of the finally block is dependent on how the exception unwind operation is triggered. That, in turn, is dependent on how your computer is set up.

    To make sure the finally block is executed every time you can not omit the catch block. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zwc8s4fz(v=vs.100).aspx
