i think MahApps should not delete any stuff. instead we should clearly say what is going wrong. so you can use the new MahAppsException, so you can handle this in your application and tell the user, that he must delete their config file.

MahAppsException -> https://github.com/MahApps/MahApps.Metro/blob/master/MahApps.Metro/MahAppsException.cs

sorry for my nitpicking ;-) but why must the inner exception cast to ConfigurationErrorsException? the ex is already a ConfigurationErrorsException?

should this better so?

catch (ConfigurationErrorsException ex)
{
    var filename = ex.Filename;
    throw new MahAppsException(string.Format("The settings file {0} seems to be corrupted", filename), ex.InnerException);

Yes they are the same exception type but in the outer exception Filename is null. You really have to go to the InnerException and cast it… I just debugged the code again to be sure about that.

In MahApps.Metro/Controls/WindowSettings.cs #2112 (comment) :

             {

  •                return (bool)this["UpgradeSettings"];

  •                if (this["UpgradeSettings"] != null)

  •                {

  •                    return (bool)this["UpgradeSettings"];

  •                }

  •            }

  •            catch (ConfigurationErrorsException ex)

  •            {

  •                var filename = ((ConfigurationErrorsException)ex.InnerException).Filename;

  •                throw new MahAppsException(string.Format("The settings file {0} seems to be corrupted", filename), ex);
         }

@Remolutionary ok, really don't know this, so i think this could be a final solution

catch (ConfigurationErrorsException ex)
{
    var innerEx = ex.InnerException as ConfigurationErrorsException;
    var filename = innerEx != null ? innerError.Filename : "<unknown>";
    throw new MahAppsException(string.Format("The settings file '{0}' seems to be corrupted", filename), ex.InnerException);
}

thx

I'd prefer more robust code like this:

catch (ConfigurationErrorsException ex)
{
    string filename = null;
    while (ex != null && (filename = ex.Filename) == null)
    {
        ex = ex.InnerException as ConfigurationErrorsException;
    }
    throw new MahAppsException(string.Format("The settings file '{0}' seems to be corrupted", filename ?? "<unknown>"), ex);
}
