Handle exceptions in entity framework 4

c# entity-framework sql

Question

I need a way to distinguish between SQL exceptions using entity framework LINQ, for example how to distinguish foreing key constraint violation, or unique constraint violation when all i get from the DbUpdateException is a ton of nested inner exceptions and useless long error messages? Are there any lower level exceptions where i can do something like "Catch FKException"; catch "uniqueException" or something like that.

            catch (System.Data.Entity.Validation.DbEntityValidationException e)
            {
                string rs = "";
                foreach (var eve in e.EntityValidationErrors)
                {
                    rs = string.Format("Entity of type \"{0}\" in state \"{1}\" has the following validation errors:", eve.Entry.Entity.GetType().Name, eve.Entry.State);
                    Console.WriteLine(rs);

                    foreach (var ve in eve.ValidationErrors)
                    {
                        rs += "<br />" + string.Format("- Property: \"{0}\", Error: \"{1}\"", ve.PropertyName, ve.ErrorMessage);
                    }
                }
                throw new Exception(rs);

Using sql error codes...

catch (DbUpdateException ex)
                    {
                        var sqlex = ex.InnerException.InnerException as SqlException;

                        if (sqlex != null)
                        {
                            switch (sqlex.Number)
                            {
                                case 547: throw new ExNoExisteUsuario("No existe usuario destino."); //FK exception
                                case 2627:
                                case 2601:
                                    throw new ExYaExisteConexion("Ya existe la conexion."); //primary key exception

                                default: throw sqlex; //otra excepcion que no controlo.


                            }
                        }

                        throw ex;
                    }
