.NET Global exception handler in console application

Question

Question: I want to define a global exception handler for unhandled exceptions in my console application. In asp.net, one can define one in global.asax, and in windows appli

Answer 1

You also need to handle exceptions from threads:

static void Main(string[] args) {
Application.ThreadException += MYThreadHandler;
}

private void MYThreadHandler(object sender, Threading.ThreadExceptionEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine(e.Exception.StackTrace);
}

Whoop, sorry that was for winforms, for any threads you're using in a console application you will have to enclose in a try/catch block. Background threads that encounter unhandled exceptions do not cause the application to end.
