XMLHttpRequest: Network Error 0x2ee7 - Not able to catch this exception

Question

I am building an RSS reader Metro app using HTML5/JavaScript. I want to display an error message when a user runs the app when the device is not connected to the internet.

Basically, I am trying to catch the network error and display a message. But the exception is not getting caught in Visual Studio. Even when I run the app, it just crashes. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I am also struggling with that. Unfortunately Jeffs answer does not help in that particular case. Wrapping the call to WinJS.xhr in Exception handling also does not catch the exception.
