Fault and Exception Handling in Dynamics CRM 2011

Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web service can throw a number of exceptions. When we use Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web service in application development we need to handle service related exceptions.

catch (FaultException< Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.DiscoveryServiceFault> ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(“The application terminated with an error.”);
}
