Most Inner Exception

Often I find that the most valuable error information is contained in the most inner exception. This should be simple but how can I iterate through the inner exceptions to get to the root of the problem?

You can iterate through the inner exceptions as follows:

static void DoSomething()
 {     
       try
       {
           // some code
       }
       catch(Exception ex)
       {           
           ShowExceptionChain(ex);
       }
 } 

static void ShowExceptionChain(Exception ex)
{
       int num = 1; 
       do
       {
          Console.WriteLine("{0}. {1}", num, ex);    
          num++;
          ex = ex.InnerException;
       }
       while (ex != null);
    }                
}

However, if you want to go directly to the innermost exception you can just call the GetBaseException method.
