currentDomain.UnhandledException

[Gary Bagen]

I have copied this directly from the MSDN example into a Console
application. MyHandler does not run. Running compiled Release brings
up the JIT. What am I missing?

Module Module1

Sub Main()
Dim currentDomain As AppDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain
AddHandler currentDomain.UnhandledException, AddressOf
MyHandler

Try
Throw New Exception("1")
Catch e As Exception
Console.WriteLine("Catch clause caught : " + e.Message)
End Try

Throw New Exception("2")

' Output:
' Catch clause caught : 1
' MyHandler caught : 2

End Sub
Sub MyHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal args As
UnhandledExceptionEventArgs)
Dim e As Exception = DirectCast(args.ExceptionObject,
Exception)
Console.WriteLine("MyHandler caught : " + e.Message)
End Sub 'MyUnhandledExceptionEventHandler

End Module

The VS.NET debugger gets the first chance at the exception. When given
the option to "Debug" or "Continue", click "Continue" and your handler
will get called.
