Best practices, exceptions c#

Hi,

I'm writing up a couple of webservices in apache axis 1.2b2, to be consumed 
primarily by non-java clients, most notably c#.  What are the best practices 
with respect to throwing exceptions?

Thus far I have written some wsdl (hand tweaked from the java2wsdl output), 
generated my skeletons, and implemented the method bodies.  As part of this, 
I throw a custom exception from each method, which is made up of a string (a 
human readable error message) and an int (which maps to a well known error 
code).  My c# clients though just get either a whole stack trace (ick) or a 
"System Exception" string, which prevents them from checking the status 
code.

Any suggestions on how to make this a little more .Net friendly, or in 
general a little more non-java friendly?

Thanks,

P
