description: There are some cases where a IscException is thrown. But IscException is internal of the Assembly Firebird and it cannot be treated out by ours applications.

I think all IscException thrown should be encapsulated in FbException.

An example :

//When the database is on a distant machine the IscException is not encapsulated
try
{
FbBackup fbBackup = new FbBackup();
fbBackup.ConnectionString = @"DataSource=distantmachinename;Database=C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\examples\EMPLOYEE.FDB; " +
"User=user;Password=password;Role=;Port=3050;Connection lifetime=;Connection timeout=;"+
"Pooling=true;MaxPoolSize=1;Dialect=3;Charset=NONE;Packet Size=8192;Server Type=0;";

   //I specify 2 backup files with the same name
   fbBackup\.BackupFiles\.Add\(new FbBackupFile\("samename\.fbk", 1048576\)\);
   fbBackup\.BackupFiles\.Add\(new FbBackupFile\("samename\.fbk", 0\)\);

   fbBackup\.Execute\(\);
 \}
 catch \( FbException e \)
 \{
   Console\.WriteLine\(e\.ErrorCode \+ " \| " \+ e\.Message\);
 \}
catch \( Exception e \)
 \{
   //the exception is catched here and cannot be cast to an IscException
   Console\.WriteLine\(e\.Message\);
 \}
