I’ve seen this annoying issue in both sharepoint portal server and Reporting services. I don’t really grasp that why error handling within some objects (say, chart object in the reporting services) output the inner exception to the end user!? What’s the use of that? Look at the scary exception below:

· Exception of type Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportRendering.ReportRenderingException was thrown. (rrRenderingError) Get Online Help

• Exception of type Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportRendering.ReportRenderingException was thrown.
  
  
  
  • An error has occurred during rendering of chart MarkDistributionGraphEnglish. Details: Axis object – Auto Interval Error (rsErrorDuringChartRendering)
    
    
    
    • Axis object – Auto Interval Error

Well, if there is an internal error in any objects, they could have logged it somewhere and just simply STOP the object from rendering its content.
