WCF FaultException Without Sending StackTrace

Question

I have some WCF services with predefined FaultContract attributes. When the FaultException<TDetail> exceptions are thrown, they're sending StackTrace, Source and other potentially unsave information.

Is it possible to return only:

• Detail (from the generic TDetail)
• FaultMessage
• FaultCode
• (and possibly) FaultReason

Answer 1

Have you tried rolling your own fault exception using IErrorHandler? Also make sure in your app config file, the IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults attribute is set to false and, this might be helpful for best pratices.
