We have some code that walks the process tree on windows xp. It uses the
process class in system diagnostic as well as some dllimport calls to
kernel32.dll and ntdll.dll
We also have some code that talks on terminal services virtual channels
using wtsapi32.dll
What we have noticed is that after calling those methods several times
per minute in some cases or at least lots of times per hour all day long
will end up giving a "applicatio n has generated an exception that could
not be handled" dialog with a ok and cancel button. Tonight I have
researched and someone suggests using cordbg, so I will try that next.
What I am actually wondering is how can that error show up if I have
some huge TRY-CATCHES around any calls to those lines of code? I am
almost certain its those lines of code that make it fail because I
output to my logs before and after calling methods on those dlls and the
error always happens right after the log says its getting ready to call
one of those methods. So is there some special TRY-CATCH for dll imports
maybe? BTW if I do pass the wrong params or something to those methods I
do get a nice exception I can catch, its just sometimes that I get that
error that I can't do anything about!
Thanks,

Maybe you're dealing with a non-CLS-compliant exception. Do have a
general catch clause in your code as well, e.g. something like
try
{
DoDangerousThin gs();
}
catch
{
// Yada yada
}
Cheers,
I almost always have a catch(Exception ex) at the end of all my catches,
is it still necessary to have a catch without an exception in it?

Non-CLS compliant exceptions can only be thrown by code which is able to
generate native exceptions or exception not based on System.Exceptio n. This
could be native code or also managed C++.
I guess you don't want to use adplus to find out what the exception is?

I can use telnet host:port and enter the secret killword or

Hi,
I've made a small utility to re-raise an exception with the same stack

have found to made it is by hacking the str representation:

I am wondering if there are some best practices for determining a strategy
for using try/catch blocks within an application.
My current thoughts are:
1. The code the initiates any high-level user tasks should always be
included in a try/catch block that actually handles any exceptions that
occur (log the exception, display a message box, etc.).
2. Low-level operations that are used to carry out the high level tasks
