[Resolved]Global Try...Catch with dynamic controls...

[crptcblade]

Currently, to trap untrapped exceptions, I have this...

Public Shared Sub Main()
 
            Try
                Application.Run(New frmMain)
            Catch ex As Exception
                MsgBox(ex.Message)
            End Try
 
        End Sub

It works fine for the most part, except that a many controls that I have in my app will be loaded dynamically via the Activator.CreateInstanceFrom() method. I put in a couple of Throw's in one of my dynamic controls, just to test it out, but the exceptions don't even seem to be getting thrown, let alone caught by my Try Catch block. What have I missed?

Well, it seems that the not throwing exceptions problem is due to the fact that the dynamic control is a project that was converted from VB6. Once I added a native .NET control and threw an exception from there, the exception was actually thrown.

However, the global Try...Catch does not handle this exception. Is there a way for me to have it catch the unhandled exceptions without having a reference to the control project from my main exe project?

Found it. The solution is to add a ThreadException event handler to the Application object.
