Getting the specific attribute that is throwing a Fault Exception?

Question

I am having a problem handling a specific exception being thrown on a create() call in a ASP.NET application that talks to CRM 2011.  I am not able to attach a debugger to the web instance, so it's hard to step through the error in the debugger.

Is there any way of getting the name of the bad attribute from a FaultException? Right now i am capturing the following exception. 

catch (FaultException<Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault> fe)

Which is giving me the following Message: 

"Incorrect attribute value type System.String"

Is there anyway of retrieving the name of the attribute that is throwing this exception? 

fe.Detail.trace isn't telling me anything,  fe.Detail.InnerFault is null, so nothing there.

Answer 1

Have you tried the Failed Request Tracing in the IIS or the Event Log on the CRM server?

Answer 2

It's CRM online, and i only have FTP access to the IIS server.
