Hello,
I am using following code to handle unhandled exceptions in Windows Forms.
Shared Sub Main()
Dim GlobalException Handler As New GlobalException Handler
AddHandler Application.Thr eadException, AddressOf
GlobalException Handler.OnThrea dException
Application.Run (New MainForm)
End Sub
Exception Class:
Public Class GlobalException Handler
'Handle the exception event
Public Sub OnThreadExcepti on(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal t As
Threading.Threa dExceptionEvent Args)
'log exception
Helper.LogExcep tion(t.Exceptio n, "Unhandled exception.")
End Class
What code can I use to handle unhandled exception when developing a Windows
Service?
Thanks,
Pen D. 10 2463

You add a handler to System.AppDomai n.CurrentDomain .UnhandledExcep tion
instead of Application.Thr eadException

It is best not to use global exception handlers in Windows Services.
Due to the nature of a service any global handler may not handle the
exception correctly and the service might terminate before you are
notified of the exception. It is better to put open catch blocks where
you need them and at the base of all threads. You can create a static
exception handling class that will help you with this.
If you still want to use a global handler then you need to attach to
the UnhandledExcept ion event of the CurrentDomain.
AddHandler System.AppDomai n.CurrentDomain .UnhandledExcep tion,
AddressOf GlobalException Handler.OnUnhan dledException

"Global" (Eeek!) Exception handlers like these should be regarded as a
back-stop; a way to log an terminal error just before your application
process finally keels over and dies - that classic cartoon scene where a
character runs off the edge of a cliff but hasn't started falling yet.
Don't expect them to be able to do anything more useful.

Windows Services, oddly, are far simpler beasts than Windows Forms apps,
so placing a Try .. Catch block wrapped around the main "Processing "
method for your Service will do the trick (unless you use a Timer, which
I don't recommend).
And, of course, you need them around the entry point(s) to any other
Thread(s) that you might spark off from within the Service - this is
particularly important if you're heading into Framework 2.0 and beyond,
where unhandled Exceptions in a Thread kill the entire process (unlike
1.1, where the thread just disappears, leaving the rest of the app
wondering where it went).

Whats wrong with using a Timer in a Windows Service?
System.Timers.T imer was built specifically for use in a Windows Service.
It is debatable which is better - a loop vs. timer. I use both depending on
the situation.
First of all, thank you all for answers.
I do use timer, like most of the people, to do specific actions every x
milliseconds within windows service.
So far, I didn't hear that anything can be wrong with it.
As far as global exception handler, we can debate on how-to-implement-it but
you'll agree that it is much better to log/display error then to simply let
it "run off the edge of a cliff " without knowing what caused it.

I read that as using a Try...Catch wrapper around a Timer in a Windows
Service was a bad idea.

The problem is that you /can't/ wrap a Timer-invoked routine in a Try ..
Catch, because the "calling routine" where the Try would have to go is
buried somewhere in the Framework.

If you deal with all the errors correctly then you will have logged
the fault before it runs off the cliff as you will catch all the
exceptions and handle them properly. This will probably also produce
logging that is far more useful in determining what the fault is. That
said it does not hurt to use the UnhandledExcept ion event for a simple
last resort logging of the error. You just should not rely on it as a
safety net and certainly do not use it to try and recover from the
exception. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Any points of what would be the good error handling design for application?
User error handling in Application_OnError and throw() new errors on conditions through the code?
I'd like utlimiately to consolidate all error_handling in one method which I'll be able to easily modify to write to event log or text file etc instead of error hanlding scattered through the code.
Thanks,

This has been driving me crazy.
I have been trying to get the error handling working on my system and can
get parts of it working and others won't work at all.
I found that you can't access session variables from Application_Error
event, but I need to so I don't need to set up traces to see what they are
during an error. I am emailing the error condition to myself when it
happens.
