Using MFC Exceptions in Console Applications

[Greg]

I have a test program that uses the CFile class. When it fails to open a file
(ie. when I have locked the file), it returns false. The error information
is given to me in a CFileException object. When I try to format the message
for this exception, an assertion is thrown because my program does not have
a resource handle.

I am assuming it is because I am using a console application, but how can
I use the MFC exception frameowrk from my console application.

why would you want to use MFC in a console app in the first place? I
suggest that you use fstream objects instead and standard exception
handling.
