Answer 1

class MyException : Exception
{
    private const string AMP = "\r\nInnerException: ";
    public override string Message
    {
        get
        {
            return this.InnerException != null ? base.Message + AMP + this.InnerException.Message : base.Message;
        }
    }

    public override string StackTrace
    {
        get
        {
            return this.InnerException != null ? base.StackTrace + AMP + this.InnerException.StackTrace : base.StackTrace;
        }
    }
}

Answer 2

That's funny, I can't find anything wrong with Exception.GetBaseException()?

repEvent.InnerException = ex.GetBaseException().Message;
