Team,

I have created a simple workflow.

Try  
{  
// Get Text activity  
}  
Catch(exception)  
{  
print - exception.Source  
}

When there is an exception, it’s source showing as “System.Activities”

I have downgraded the both ui and activities packages and upgraded and tried all combinations.. still issue persists..

Could you please look into it? attached the issue workflow

@theerthaks

Try to print the **Exception.Message** and check once.

Message is fine. It works… Only source is the problem

@Yoshi_Akiyama Could you please check this. The error still persists. In catch, if we try to get source like exception.Source, instead of giving activity name, it is display as mscorlib…

Also how to get which sequence inside try block does the activity belongs to.

Thank you
