Hi all, I have an application that uses a custom DLL. The DLL needs to be
in the same directory as the executable. If it's not I want to catch the
error and give a meaningful message to the user. Right now, the appl
immediately aborts with a cryptic "Applicatio n has generated an exception
that could not be handled" error.
the application starts in a STARTUP Module and then starts up the main form.
I've tried ON ERROR, TRY CATCH, all with no success. In the startup Module
I have a DIM stmt that needs to reference a singleton pattern class which
resides in the custom dll. Code is as follows:
Dim GlobalItems As GlobalLibraryVa rs = getGlobalVarsOb ject()
'GlobalLibraryV ars is a singleton pattern class in the custom DLL
I am wondering if the system is processing the DIM statements before
executing the Sub Main() code, if so, how can I catch a missing DLL error???
Does anybody have any suggestions? This thing is really driving me crazy...
Thanks, John

If you have a reference to the DLL, then the application will try to load the
DLL as your exe loads. One way is to try loading the DLL via reflection,
which will allow you to catch the exception when you do an assembly.load.

Hi,
In addition to Anand's reply if you create a setup project to
install the app the msi will automatically check for the presence of the dll
when the application starts and reinstall the dll if missing.

If you are loading the assembly yourself, you can catch this.
If it is being loaded "for you", because you have a reference to it
and are creating objects from it using New (which is what you'd
/normally/ do), then I don't think you can. The Exception gets
thrown [long] before any of /your/ code gets a look in.

Phill W.
I think I'll just have to go with an MSI install file. thanks for all your
help

Hello,
As a .NET newbie I'd appreciate some advice... I've been tasked with
writing a small app (in VB .NET) that takes some data from our HR system,
does some format modifications, and loads that into Active Directory.
For error handling of this app, I was considering having the app process
each employee one at a time. If an error occurs, I was thinking that the
system would handle the error with a Try/Catch, send the error details...

Hi there,
I'm in 3-tier project and I'm thinking about having Try / Catch
statements in each method, just in case you know!
If the case is that I don't have a special treatment for the error in
some method I would Cath the error and Re-Throw it!
The question is: what are the issues of this approach? Would I have
performance problems cus of my catches? What does MS recommends in such a
situation??

Another wish of mine. I wish there was a way in the Try Catch structure
to say if there wasn't an error to do something. Like an else
statement. Try Catch Else Finally.
Also because I understand Finally runs whether an error was caught or
not, I haven't found a use for finally yet.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
