Is it possible to catch an access violation exception in .NET?

Question

Is there anything I can do to catch an AccessViolationException? It is being thrown by a unmanaged DLL that I don\'t control.

Answer 1

Yes.

In your App.confg, plop the following code within the tag:

Now you should be able to catch corrupted state exceptions (CSE) like any other.

Note: If you already have a runtime tag then simply add to it

The above works for .Net 4.5
