c# - Catch Application Exceptions in a Windows Forms Application

Question

Is there anyway to catch expections that is thrown by anywhere in the code? I would like to catch exceptions and handle them in a similar manner rather than writing try catch blocks for each functionality.

Answer 1

In Windows Forms applications, when an exception is thrown anywhere in the application (on the main thread or during asynchronous calls), you can catch it by registering for the ThreadException event on the Application. In this way you can treat all the exceptions in the same way.

Application.ThreadException += new ThreadExceptionEventHandler(MyCommonExceptionHandlingMethod);

private static void MyCommonExceptionHandlingMethod(object sender, ThreadExceptionEventArgs t)
{
    //Exception handling...
}
