Hi everyone,
I've got an application which uses a custom exception handler and to avoid
unhandled exceptions I've got a try{}catch (Exception){} block around the
main Application.Run (...).
Works all good on my machine, whenever something unexpected happens the
exception get caught, logged and it shows a nicer message.
Unfortunately for some reason, this only works on my machine! If i deploy my
project to some other computer I get the .net unhandled exception screen!
how can that be? shouldn't that try/catch catch _everything_?? I'm catching
different types, but the last catch block catches (Exception ex)! How can
anything get around that?
Any suggestions?
Thanks very much.
Cheers

Andreas,
Instead of using a try/catch block around the static Run method, why not
attach to the ThreadException event on the Application? It should give you
a consistent way to catch unhandled exceptions on the UI thread.
Hope this helps.

Hi Nicholas,
thanks very much, exactly what I needed!
Still don't know why I didn't get all exceptions via try/catch, but I guess
it's a lot better this way anyway...
thanks again, much appreciated.
Cheers
Andreas

Just to clear up a "it works on my machine" confusion... Unfortunatly both VS
2003 and VS 2005 do treat exceptions differently in debug modes. If you will
try to run your application without debugging ("Start without debugging"), or
just run .exe, you should get the same unhandled exception screen.

Hi,
Does anybody know how to catch unhandled exceptions in
an application.
I have tried using
AppDomain.UnhandledException Event
Application.ThreadException Event
but they were not catching unhandled exceptions always.
There are not working in some cases.

Hi,
I made a handler for unhandled errors. But before that is executed, VB.NET
gives me the standard error window. In VB6 there was a setting
(errortrapping) about handling errors
in the design environment and classes, which should prevent the before
mentioned behaviour. Does VB.NET have a setting like it? Or is there
something else?
Thanks in advance

Can someone explain why this code pops up a messagebox saying the
ThreadAbortException wasn't handled?
The first exception is reported only in the debug pane, as expected.
The second (caused by thread.Abort()) is reported twice: once in the debug
window, and once through the message box.
Is it because the thread was sleeping when the exception occurred?

When you have an unhandled exception in vb.net how do you view the
exception information in the debugger?
In C# the debugger creates a local variable that points to the
exception and you can view it in one of the windows (autos or locals,
don't remember which). That doesn't appear to be the case with
vb.net.
I also tried using the command window to inspect "Err" but that gave
nothing useful (always empty).

Hi All.
I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of a solution to unhandled

I've found various articles describing a method using Application.Run(new

of unhandled exceptions in the application. The problem I'm facing is that I

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
