guy,
Depending on the type of application you are creating, .NET has three
different global exception handlers.
For ASP.NET look at:
System.Web.HttpApplication.Error event
Normally placed in your Global.asax file.
For console applications look at:
System.AppDomain.UnhandledException event
Use AddHandler in your Sub Main.
For Windows Forms look at:
System.Windows.Forms.Application.ThreadException event
Use AddHandler in your Sub Main.
It can be beneficial to combine the above global handlers in your app, as
well as wrap your Sub Main in a try catch itself.
There is an article in the June 2004 MSDN Magazine that shows how to
implement the global exception handling in .NET that explains why & when you
use multiple of the above handlers...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...T/default.aspx
For example: In my Windows Forms apps I would have a handler attached to the
Application.ThreadException event, plus a Try/Catch in my Main. The
Try/Catch in Main only catches exceptions if the constructor of the MainForm
raises an exception, the Application.ThreadException handler will catch all
uncaught exceptions from any form/control event handlers.
Hope this helps

In my application I have an event handler to catch unhandled exceptions,
as
per the MSDN documentation, however when an unhandled exception is thrown
I
get the Dialogue first, then the event handler catches the exception. How
do
I supress the dialogue?
