How can I get WinForms to stop silently ignoring unhandled exceptions?

Question

This is getting extremely irritating. Right now I have a winforms application, and things were not working right, but no exceptions were being thrown as far as I could tell

Try the following.

• Handle exceptions in your main application entry point.
• Also, manage unhandled thread exceptions using a ThreadExceptionEventHandler

This is the code snippet:

[STAThread]
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
    try
    {
        Application.ThreadException += new ThreadExceptionEventHandler(Application_ThreadException);
        //your program entry point
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
       //manage also these exceptions
    }
}

private void Application_ThreadException(object sender, ThreadExceptionEventArgs e)
{
    ProcessException(e.Exception);
}
