Exceptions in .Net plugins

[RFlannery1]

We have written a command using the .Net API.  If the command throws an exception, Maya pops up a message box showing the stack trace.  So far, so good.  But if I wrap the command in a try/except block in Python, it still pops up the message box with the stack trace.  Is that the expected behavior?

Hi,

Yes, it is. The .NET exceptions are caught by the wrapper(swig). So it will always show a dialog and return corresponding failure MStatus.

I was afraid that might be the answer.  Oh, well.  We've got only one plugin that absolutely requires C#.  So it isn't a huge deal.  But if we make more C# plugins in the future, I'll make a bug report.

Thanks for your help.
