Hi ,

am creating one console app for sending mails. am using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling.dll for handling exception in my code. but when i debug the code am getting this exception 'The policy with name 'Generic Exception' cannot be found. Exception handling aborted.'.  i didnt add any policy in my app.config.. version 5.0.414.0

The Enterprise Library is no longer under development. I would not use it. What are you trying to do? Catch Exceptions?
