From ms.public.dotnet.languages.csharp thread "Nice exceptions"

I usually create a class, called

EntryPoint.cs


[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{

Application.Run(new Form1()); //Whatever your startup form is

}

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//Notify User
MessageBox.Show( "A (uncaught) exception has occured. MyApp
cannot continue." );
//Shut down application
Application.Exit( );
}
}


This will catch any uncaught exceptions.

But Jon is right.
You catch an general exception, but you're rethrowing it.
Thus something else must catch it, or you'll get the blow-up screen.


You should should google

try catch finally brad abrams

and you can read where

"You should be writing many many more

try/finally
blocks

and not so many
try/catch/finally

blocks.
