I keep getting WCF service is in faulted state on the client side. How should I catch WCF exceptions, without breaking my WCF service?

Question

I have a WCF service multiple UIs consume. When the user is unable to access the database, I get Unauthorised exception from the DB. I don\'t catch the exception on the server

Answer 1

See the following link which talks about how WCF clients should catch faults/exceptions and potential problems you may run into with the 'using' statement in C#:

Baiscally you need to call Abort() on your client proxy. This will immediately set the state of the proxy to Closed.
