  • In plain old asmx services by catching this exception and rethrowing a SoapException and filling the Detail property.
  • In WCF by throwing a FaultException<T>. As far as the catching is concerned a good place to do this is a custom IErrorHandler that would provide the appropriate fault to the client.
