C# Class Elmah.ErrorDisplay

Formats the error type of an Error object in a short and human-readable form.

Formats the type of an error, typically supplied as the Error.Type value, in a short and human- readable form.

Typically, exception type names can be long to display and complex to consume. The essential part can usually be found in the start of an exception type name minus its namespace. For example, a human reading the string, "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException", will usually considers "COM" as the most useful component of the entire type name. This method does exactly that. It assumes that the the input type is a .NET Framework exception type name where the namespace and class will be separated by the last period (.) and where the type name ends in "Exception". If these conditions are method then a string like, "System.Web.HttpException" will be transformed into simply "Html".
