How can I set up .NET UnhandledException handling in a Windows service?
- by Mike Pateras
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException +=
new UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(CurrentDomain_UnhandledException);
Thread.Sleep(10000);
throw new Exception();
}
void CurrentDomain_UnhandledException(object sender,
UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
{
}
I attached a debugger to the above code in my windows service, setting a breakpoint in CurrentDomain_UnhandledException, but it was never hit. The exception pops up saying that it is unhandled, and then the service stops. I even tried putting some code in the event handler, in case it was getting optimized away.
Is this not the proper way to set up unhandled exception handling in a windows service?
