I have a ErrorRecorder App, which prints the error report out and asks if the user wants to send that report to me.
Then, I have the main app. If an error occurs, It writes the error report to a file and asks ErrorRecorder to open that file to show user the error report.
So I am catching most of my errors using Try/Catch.
However, what if an error occurs that was completely unexpected and it shuts down my program.
Is there like an Global/Override method or something of that kind, that tells the program "Before shutting down if an unexpected error occurs, call the "ErrorRecorderView()" Method"
i think this is what you're after - you can handle exceptions at the appdomain level - i.e. across the whole program.

currentDomain.UnhandledException += new UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(MyHandler);
try
{
throw new Exception("1");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Catch clause caught : " + e.Message);
}
throw new Exception("2");
// Output:
// Catch clause caught : 1
// MyHandler caught : 2
}
static void MyHandler(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs args)
{
Exception e = (Exception)args.ExceptionObject;
Console.WriteLine("MyHandler caught : " + e.Message);
}
public static void Main()
{
Example();
