powershell 2.0 try catch how to access the exception

powershell try-catch

Try something like this:

try {    $w = New-Object net.WebClient    $d = $w.downloadString('http://foo')}catch [Net.WebException] {    Write-Host $_.Exception.ToString()}

The exception is in the $_ variable. You might explore $_ like this:

try {    $w = New-Object net.WebClient    $d = $w.downloadString('http://foo')}catch [Net.WebException] {    $_ | fl * -Force}

I think it will give you all the info you need.

My rule: if there is some data that is not displayed, try to use -force.
