an instance of that object in the remote domain. You can then call a method on that MBRO which does the ScriptEngine.SetTrace() call (you can safely pass the script engine instance across when you create the MBRO). If you want to marshal the results back
to your main app domain you can also create an MBRO in your local domain that you pass through when you construct the remote MBRO and then you can call some method which passes strings instead of unmarshallable objects.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hello,<br>
<br>
I am experiencing an exception when tracing and would appreciate some guidance.<br>
<br>
I am hosting IronPython 2.7.1 in a .Net 4 C# host. The host creates a new app domain to run IronPython scripts in. At the moment due to some security exceptions I've given the new app domain unrestricted permissions (I will try and reduce this later). When
the python script is executed it runs via an asynchronous delegate and when complete catches any exceptions during the running of the script. This was all working fine and if the python script has an error in it then the exception is caught in the async callback
method.<br>
<br>
However I have since added tracing via a call to ScriptEngine.SetTrace(myDelegate) so I can allow stepping through the script one line at a time (based on
<a href="http://devhawk.net/tag/debugger/">http://devhawk.net/tag/debugger/</a>). When the script has no errors it executes fine with tracing enabled or disabled. However if the script has an error in it and tracing is enabled then trying to catch and format
the exception in the async delegate callback causes a SerializationException on IronPython.Runtime.Types.PythonType. When tracing is not enabled the exception is caught and formatted successfully.<br>
<br>
I tried to disable tracing in the catch block before formatting the exception but this makes no difference. I understand that this is related to sending the exception information from one app domain to another but I'm not sure what I can do to get round it
and what extra information it is trying to send when tracing is enabled. My tracing delegate does nothing with exceptions.<br>
<br>
Code that creates the new app domain and starts the async call to execute the method for the object in the new app domain:<br>
public void Run()<br>
{<br>
if (newDomainInstance == null)<br>
NewAppDomain();<br>
<br>
Execute method = newDomainInstance.ExecuteCode;<br>
method.BeginInvoke(RunComplete, method);<br>
<br>
}<br>
<br>
<br>
The async callback is the following code:<br>
<br>
private void RunComplete(IAsyncResult cookie)<br>
{<br>
Complete = true;<br>
<br>
Execute method = (Execute)cookie.AsyncState;<br>
<br>
<br>
try<br>
{<br>
method.EndInvoke(cookie);<br>
OnExecutionSuccess();<br>
}<br>
catch (AppDomainUnloadedException adue)<br>
{<br>
//Do nothing because we've deliberately pulled the app domain out from under it.<br>
}<br>
catch (Exception ex)<br>
{<br>
engine.Value.SetTrace(null);<br>
String extractedMessage = engine.Value.GetService<ExceptionOperations>().FormatException(ex);<br>
OnExecutionError(new Exception(extractedMessage));<br>
}<br>
<br>
}<br>
<br>
The exception occurs on String extractedMessage = engine.Value.GetService<ExceptionOperations>().FormatException(ex);<br>
<br>

Any help would be appreciated. If it helps I can show more code or if anything is unclear please let me know. I didn't want to make it too long and include unneccessary details.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your time.<br>
