Handeling exceptions when using threads

I have a main form (frmMain).
frmMain creates a sub form (frmSub).
frmSub creates a business object (busObj).
busObj creates a thread and calls a method to run in the thread.
The method creates a server side buiness object (busObjSrv).
busObjSrv creates an Excel.Applicati on (exAp) object on the server.
exAp opens an automated excel woekbook (exWb) (automated by an outside
company)
busObjSrv fills the information from frmSub on exWb and calls the automation
methods.
The automation methods generate 2 word documents based on the information
from frmSub, and data from the other company located on the work book.

Sorry for the long explenation, but heres the problem...

once busObj spins the thread off, frmSub closes and breaks the object link
between busObj and frmMain. If an exception is thrown in busObjSrv, I cannot
pass it back to frmMain to display to the user through the catch blocks. A
general exception gets thrown (break/continue) and the program does not blow
up, but the exception is not being handled properly (IMO).

Does anyone know a way that I can pass the exception back to frmMain to
display in a MessageBox?

We have several business objects that use threading, and I would like to
incorporate a solution into a utility object that we can use for all
threading.

If I figure it out first... I will post the solution in case someone else
needs it.

Thanks in advance.

How about an event that is fired when a exception gets thrown. You can
then have an exception handler that subscribes to the events and
displays something in the UI when the event gets fired.

If the sub form creates the business object and then goes away, how does the
main form know that the business object even exists?

Well, you have to make the MainForm subscribe to events fired from the
business object.

So even though the main form creates the sub form, and the sub form creates
the business object, and the sub form closes... That the main form knows
that there is a business object?

I thought that the business object would only be known by the object that
created it. Could you explain how that is form me so I can understand?

I'll give it a try... Thanks

Something like this

public class MainForm : Form
{
public void CreateSubForm()
{
SubForm s = new SubForm(this);
s.Show();
}

internal void ExceptionHandle r(Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show (e.ToString());
}
}

class SubForm : Form
{
MainForm f;
public SubForm(MainFor m f)
{
this.f = f;
}
void CreateBusinessO bject()
{
BusinessObject bo = new BusinessObject( );
bo.ExceptionOcc urred += new
ExceptionOccurr edEventHandler( f.ExceptionHand ler);
}
}

I feel like this has probably been answered before, but I couldn't find something quite like it in the archives. Feel free to point me somewhere if you know where this has already been answered. I have a list in a particular order that I want to split into two lists: the list of every nth item, and the list of remaining items. It's important to maintain the original order in both lists. So the first list is simple:

I know this is a recurring discussion (I've spent the last 3 days reading through threads on the topic), but I feel compelled to start it up again. After reading through the existing threads, I find myself convinced that exceptions are a better mechanism, for example because constructors and operators can't return errors, and code that doesn't need to handle/translate/recover in the face of errors, but can just propagate the error is...

I've read that it is best not to use exceptions willy-nilly for stupid purposes as they can be a major performance hit if they are thrown. But is it a performance hit to use a try..catch..finally block, just in case there might be an exception? i.e. is it ok performance-wise to pepper pieces of code with try..catch..finally blocks that must be robust, in order that cleanup can be done correctly should there be an exception?

Hi. I'm working with an app that uses exceptions for control flow. These are code blocks where exceptions are thrown/caught regularly. A couple hundred exceptions occur per hour and they're caught close to the point of origination. I'm trying to decide whether to refactor... What is the cost of throwing an exception in the CLR - relative to, say, a conditional statement? Are we taking talking 1+ orders of magnitude? Is there...

Hi, I'm getting into the Trace-functionality in .NET, using it to provide some much-needed logging across dlls in the project we're working on. However, being a newbie, I'm wondering if some more experienced loggers can provide me with some ideas as to how to log in a simple yet flexible manner. For instance, I'd like the code to be as uncluttered as possible by Trace statements. As an example of basic logging functionality, I've come...

I get python crashes and (in better cases) strange Python exceptions when (in most cases) importing and using cookielib lazy on demand in a thread. It is mainly with cookielib, but remember the problem also with other imports (e.g. urllib2 etc.). And again very often in all these cases where I get weired Python exceptions, the problem is around re-functions - usually during re.compile calls during import (see some of the exceptions below). But...

I have a problem when catching a plenty of exceptions simultaneously in different threads: the Load Average indicator exceeds 100.0 and the process seems to "hang up".

The exceptions don't leave thread function. The test starts to work and at some moment blocks. Under some...
