AppDomain.FirstChanceException and stack overflow exception

Question

I\'m using the FirstChanceException event to log details about any thrown exceptions.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FirstChanceEx         


        

Answer 1

First use a method instead of a delegate, so the method name will be defined

Then use Environment.StackTrace to check if the method is already in the stacktrace

Here is a piece of code untested:

static void Main(string[] args) 
{ 
    AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FirstChanceException += handleFirstChanceException;
} 

private void handleFirstChanceException(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)
{
    if (Environment.StackTrace.Contains("handleFirstChanceException"))
        return;

    // handle
}

I think the above will not work because it'll always contains the method name, but you can count if it appear more than 1 time. Also, check that it's not inlined when you compile in Release mode, in this case you're in trouble
