In C# how to collect stack trace of program crash

问题:

I am new to C#. I am writing a small desktop form based application and I need to have this feature in the app.

If the application crashes at any time, there should be a last opportunity for the app to collect stack trace and send it back to me...

Please give me directions on this.

Do I need a try catch covering the main the entry point of my app ?? or what is the best way to handle such things in a C# app.

thank you,

To catch all unhandled exceptions, Add this to program.cs:

    [STAThread]
    static void Main()
    {
    AppDomain currentDomain = default(AppDomain);
    currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
    // Handler for unhandled exceptions.
    currentDomain.UnhandledException += GlobalUnhandledExceptionHandler;
    // Handler for exceptions in threads behind forms.
    System.Windows.Forms.Application.ThreadException += GlobalThreadExceptionHandler;
    ...
    }

private static void GlobalUnhandledExceptionHandler(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
{
   Exception ex = default(Exception);
   ex = (Exception)e.ExceptionObject;
   ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Program));
   log.Error(ex.Message + "\n" + ex.StackTrace);
}

private static void GlobalThreadExceptionHandler(object sender, System.Threading.ThreadExceptionEventArgs e)
{
   Exception ex = default(Exception);
   ex = e.Exception;
   ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Program)); //Log4NET
   log.Error(ex.Message + "\n" + ex.StackTrace);
}

Stack trace you can get by exception.StackTrace

Take a look at Crypto Obfuscator which has a Automatic Exception Reporting feature.

Automatic exception reporting makes it extremely easy for you to catch any unhandled exceptions that occur in your software and for your users to easily report these exceptions to you with a single click of a button.

The exception reports include all pertinent information including full stack trace info along with the values of all method arguments and local variables, plus the system information, the time of the exception, the build number, and optional developer defined custom data like log files, screenshots, etc.

If I were you, I would consider an all-in-one solution, such as the free and open source NBug framework,

If you wrap your code in a try-catch, and an Exception occurs, you can get at the Exception to see the stack trace. Yes, you would add a try-catch to wrap your main entry point.

try
{
    MainEntryPoint();
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
   System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(exc.Message);  // get at entire error message w/ stacktrace
   System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(exc.StackTrace);  // or just the stacktrace
}
