I'm trying to crash my WPF application, and capture the exception using the above new .Net 4 attribute.
I managed to manually crash my application by calling Environment.FailFast("crash");.
(Also managed to crash it using Hans's code from here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2950130/how-to-simulate-a-corrupt-state-exception-in-net-4).
The app calls the above crashing code when pressing on a button.
Here are my exception handlers:
protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
{
base.OnStartup(e);
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FirstChanceException += CurrentDomain_FirstChanceException;
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += CurrentDomain_UnhandledException;
DispatcherUnhandledException += app_DispatcherUnhandledException;
}
[HandleProcessCorruptedStateExceptions]
void CurrentDomain_UnhandledException(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
{
//log..
}
[HandleProcessCorruptedStateExceptions]
void CurrentDomain_FirstChanceException(object sender, System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.FirstChanceExceptionEventArgs e)
{
//log..
}
[HandleProcessCorruptedStateExceptions]
void app_DispatcherUnhandledException(object sender, System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
{
//log..
}
The //log... comment shown above is just for illustration; there's real logging code there.
When running in VS, an exception is thrown, but it doesn't 'bubble' up to those exception handler blocks.
When running as standalone (w/o debugger attached), I don't get any log, despite what I expect.
Does anyone has an idea why is it so, and how to make the handling code to be executed?
Many thanks,
Yaakov
