Iupdater fails

[ameer.mansourWAK8Y]

I have an updater but sometimes it fails and it doesn't throw exceptions. it just gives me that message without any other details to understand what went wrong!
is there any way

 

to know at least where it failed?

That's a common dialogue with the name of the updater blanked out so I'm assuming most will know even less than you about this.

Journal files may offer clues.

If you are running debug and it doesn't break there are certain tricks you can still use to see where you got to last i.e.  you can write to text log file, console or immediate window. Start by considering what you were doing at the time and what is likely to have been called in your code (assuming you are talking about your code).

I opened a journal and I found these 

what my code does is removing created elements if there is a clash and create new elements with no clash 
journal snippet (Don't know the issue of errors in red)

is there any other way to achieve my goal? and i can not use DocumentChanged event as i will not be able to make transaction in it.

I think it's kinda hard to help since we don't know much of anything about what your actually trying to do. All we know is that you've got an updater that's failing somewhere. Can you post any of the code, or what categories it's associated with, what it's doing etc?

If not I'd make sure your in a try /catch block and use a TaskDialog (TD)or something else to get more info. Can also use TD along the way for testing to see how far / where you get when it breaks.
