Handle exceptions in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException

Question

Is it possible to handle exceptions on the AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException callback? I want to do the following:

• Show my own "an exception has occured" dialog, with a "Send Report" button
• After the user dismissed the box, I want to close my app, but I do not want to Windows default crash dialog "The application needs to close" box to show up.

Can this be done?

As the code shows, just listen to the exception and do what you want when it happens.

You could to use Application.SetUnhandledExceptionMode method.
