my goal is to get as much info as I can for unhandled exceptions

In my case that won't really work because I need this information in the UnhandledException handler, and by the time I get to this point (the first time I actually have an exception to look at), I no longer have access to the object that threw the exception.

class Program
{
    static Form myForm = new Form();
    static Button myButton = new Button();
	
    [STAThread]
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {												
        myButton.Click += delegate 
        {
            new MyTextCache().DoLoadStuff();
        };
        myForm.Controls.Add(myButton);
		
        AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += new UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(logEx);
        Application.Run(myForm);
    }

    static void logEx(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
    {
        Exception ex = (Exception)e.ExceptionObject;
        Console.WriteLine("Exception: " + e.ExceptionObject.GetType().ToString());
        if (ex.Data.Count > 0)
        {
            foreach(var item in ex.Data)
            {
                var entry = (System.Collections.DictionaryEntry)item;
                Console.WriteLine("Parameter: " + entry.Value.ToString());
            }
        }
    }

throw e;

throw;

Thanks for the detailed response! I'm looking more into the data dictionary now and serializing the objects.

dybs wrote:

Doesn't this "reset" the stack track to the line where you rethrow the exception?

dybs wrote:

Or would a simple throw not include your changes to the dictionary?
