I have a little scinario and I was wondering if someone could point me
in the best direction for coding it.
I have a custom user control that plays a DVD and it starts another
thread that listens for events in the DVD such as chapter change or
position change. When the event occurs it Invokes a function in the
creatting thread to raise an event. This means that the user of the
control does not need to worry about the fact that the event originated
in another thread.
As I do not want any user code to completely kill my thread listening
for events, I put all event calls in an unfiltered catch block.
My problem is what do I do with the exceptrion now, I want to notify
the user of the control that an exception occured but I do not want to
kill my event listening thread (this is what would happen if I just
left the exception).
In the program I use the control I have a global exception handling
system but this never has a chance to handle the exception.
Any advice would be apreciated.

Create an "error" delegate. The user of the control will have to code in
this "event" or "delegate" into his code (something you should inform him
of), of course. He has the option of ignoring the code also. By raising
events, he can decide what to do. That avoids the exception issue.

I was wondering about this approach but it does not seem to fit in with
the philosophy of exceptions. I understood that exceptions forced a
developer to handle them rather than giving them an option. This
approach means that a developer can quite easily be oblivious to the
exception occuring in his event code.
I did think about Invoking the exception in the creatting thread but I
thought this would be a bit confusing as an exception that occured in
his event handling code would appear to happen in my control.

Hello all,
Unfortunately, the reference I have is a bit slim on describing how to
create user-defined exceptions derived from std::exception. I think what I
have below will work, but is it the way the mechanism was intended to be
used?
Thanks,

It appears that exception handling at the top-most level of a C#
program, in the static void Main() method, differs depending on whether
the program is run in debug mode or not. That is, code such as the
following

Application.Run(new something());

OK, check this out...
I have a form with a panel control and button on it (outside the panel
control).
I have two event handlers - one handles the click event of the button on the
form. The other handles a custom "CardInserted" event for a class I wrote
that watches for smart cards to be inserted into an attached smart card
reader.

I have 2 win forms user controls in 2 different projects that I'm hosting in
2 different virtual directories. The controls have been test and operate okay
in both projects.
Both controls(dlls) have been signed using SN.exe and I've set up the
appropriate .Net assembly permissions using those Strong Names
The DLL's have been copied to the /bin directory in both web virtual
directories.

Hallo Alltogether,
I've searched in this mailing list, but it seems to me that there is no general
approach to pass exceptions from one thread to another.
I think most application do a unique way of handling "unhandled exceptions", at
least they (should) try to log them.
The following discussion seems to me most valuable (Sorry for the long URL, I
don't know a way of shorter)

Hi,
I created a user control, but instead of handling exception in the
user control level I prefer to handle them in the containing form.
In the load event of the containing form I'm using:
entryWindow.Error += new EventHandler(Page_Error);
when entryWindow is my user control.
