I've tried #1, and I have only seen it trigger once or twice... and IIRC, it was during library error case not when there was a read/write error by the library itself. It's not something I've spent a lot of time chasing, but I see the need too. The generic HDF5DotNet exceptions are only so helpful.
Anyway, here's the code:
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
try
{
mProcessStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(DPM_APP_FILE_NAME);
mProcess = new Process();
mProcess.StartInfo = mProcessStartInfo;
// Set StdError (HDF error messages) to go to the Debug/Output Window
try
{
mProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
mProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
mProcess.ErrorDataReceived += new System.Diagnostics.DataReceivedEventHandler(p_ErrorDataReceived);
mProcess.BeginErrorReadLine();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Note: this currently doesn't work for an unknown reason.
// BeginErrorReadLine throws an InvalidOperationException "StandardError has not been redirected"
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ex.GetType().ToString() + ": " + ex.Message);
DPM_EventLog.WriteEntry("Redirect StdErr " + ex.GetType().ToString() + ": " + ex.Message+". "+ex.StackTrace);
}
mProcess.Start();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}
static void p_ErrorDataReceived(object sender, System.Diagnostics.DataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(e.Data))
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(e.Data + Environment.NewLine);
}

Subject: [Hdf-forum] meaningful errors in hdf5dotnet?
Hello All, we have found the lack of meaningful exception handling in hdf5dotnet to be frustrating at best.
Short of the wrapper implementation improving, how can we get HDF5 error information? Two approaches seem possible, but we can't get either to work:
1) Capturing stdout/err, but that doesn't seem to propagate in the dll and it isn't clear how to get it.
2) Using the H5E.setAuto method, but it isn't clear how to get the callback and clientdata pointers to work through the api.
Examples or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
