Catching unhandled exception on separate threads

Question

I am using the following event to catch unhandled exceptions in the main UI thread.

Application.ThreadException 

Unfortunately, it does not

Of course you should always handle all exceptions. But if you are currently incapable of doing so, you can try the following:

The application will crash/close after the UnhandledException event handler. You can just add a delay in the event handler to prevents this. Other threads with no exception (e.g. the main thread) can continue. So the application will not close and can continue. However, the thread with the exception will remain in sleep. And therefor you may get a "memory/thread leak".

    static void CurrentDomain_UnhandledException(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
    {
        // Log the exception, display it, etc
        Debug.WriteLine((e.ExceptionObject as Exception).Message);
        Thread.Sleep(100000000);
    }

At this moment there is not a better solution. You may find to change the config file, but i think that is just as dirty: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15348736
