How can I make something that catches all 'unhandled' exceptions in a WinForms application?
Up until now, I just put a try/catch block around the Application.Run
in the Program.cs
entry point to the program. This catches all e开发者_运维问答xceptions well enough in Debug mode, but when I run the program without the debug mode, exceptions don't get handled anymore. I get the unhandled exception box.
I don't want this to happen. I want all exceptions to be caught when running in non-debug mode. The program has multiple threads and preferably all exceptions from them get caught by the same handler; I want to log exceptions in the DB. Does anyone have any advice in how to do this?
Take a look at the example from the ThreadException documentation:
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Add the event handler for handling UI thread exceptions to the event.
Application.ThreadException += new
ThreadExceptionEventHandler(ErrorHandlerForm.Form1_UIThreadException);
// Set the unhandled exception mode to force all Windows Forms errors
// to go through our handler.
Application.SetUnhandledExceptionMode(UnhandledExceptionMode.CatchException);
// Add the event handler for handling non-UI thread exceptions to the event.
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += new
UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(CurrentDomain_UnhandledException);
}
You might also want to not catch exceptions when debugging, as this makes it easier to debug. It is somewhat of a hack, but for that you can wrap the above code around with
if (!AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName.EndsWith("vshost.exe")) { ... }
To prevent catching the exceptions when debugging.
EDIT: An alternate way to check for your application running inside a debugger that feels cleaner than checking a filename.
(see comments by moltenform, Kiquenet and Doug)
if(!System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached) { ... }
This avoids the problem of using a different debugger than vshost.exe
.
In NET 4, certain exceptions are no longer caught by default; these tend to be exceptions that indicate a (possibly fatal) corrupted state of the executable, such as an AccessViolationException.
Try using the [HandleProcessCorruptedStateExceptions] tag in front of your main method, e.g.
using System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.HandleProcessCorruptedStateExceptions
[HandleProcessCorruptedStateExceptions]
public static int Main()
{
try
{
// Catch any exceptions leaking out of the program
CallMainProgramLoop();
}
catch (Exception e) // We could be catching anything here
{
System.Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
A nice example can be found at http://www.csharp-examples.net/catching-unhandled-exceptions/ Basically, change your main to:
static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Application.ThreadException += new ThreadExceptionEventHandler(Application_ThreadException);
Application.SetUnhandledExceptionMode(UnhandledExceptionMode.CatchException);
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += new UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(CurrentDomain_UnhandledException);
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
static void Application_ThreadException(object sender, ThreadExceptionEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.Exception.Message, "Unhandled Thread Exception");
}
static void CurrentDomain_UnhandledException(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show((e.ExceptionObject as Exception).Message, "Unhandled UI Exception");
}
You can use NBug library for that. With minimal setup like this:
NBug.Settings.Destination1 = "Type=Mail;From=me@mycompany.com;To=bugtracker@mycompany.com;SmtpServer=smtp.mycompany.com;";
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += NBug.Handler.UnhandledException;
Application.ThreadException += NBug.Handler.ThreadException;
You can start collecting information on all unhandled bugs in your application, even when it's deployed to the clients. If you don't want to use a 3rd party library, you should attach to below events:
// These two should come before enabling visual styles or running the application
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += ...
Application.ThreadException += ...
...
Application.Run(new Form1());
