The Mind of an Angry Coder: I Take Exception to That
Many products are taking advantage of the enhanced exception management features that the .NET Framework provides, yet very few are going the extra mile to provide instant solutions.

y favorite source code repository is SourceGear's Vault. Besides being written in .NET, it is highly optimized for remote development scenarios. I was installing a new instance of Vault on one of my client's servers the other day, though, and got a cryptic message about a cryptographic exception. I emailed SourceGear's support team, and they responded promptly with instructions on how to fix the issue (even on the weekend).
The details of the fix aren't important. What I found a bit annoying is that the Vault tool itself did not make any suggestions on how to fix the problem. All I got was a stack dump, which I had to email to SourceGear support.
