Hello Tom,

What I forgot to write down in my first posting was: My UserControl is
part
of an own project and is hosted within the main application project.

try handle unhandled exeption in your mail app and this allow u to handle exeption even in other domains

u can find detailed info there http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.appdomain.unhandledexception.aspx

TB> Just a short question concerning exception handling....
TB> TB> All of my applications contain an event handling in the
Main()
like
TB> this one:
TB> TB> [STAThread]
TB> static void Main()
TB> {
TB> // declare global exeption handler
TB> Application.ThreadException += new
TB>
ThreadExceptionEventHandler(GlobalExceptionHandler.OnThreadException
TB> );
TB> ...
TB> // load main form and start application
TB> ...
TB> }
TB> By that I am showing a special exception form to the user (with
TB> features like "send bug report to ..."). This is for cases where
I
TB> forgot a try/catch somewhere.
TB> TB> Now I have to write a UserControl for an application that is
out
of
TB> my
TB> control so I do not have personal influence on that code.
TB> My UserControl is just loaded by that application, user can do
TB> several
TB> things with it and it stays loaded all the time until the
TB> application is
TB> closed again.
TB> So the only entry point I have for this control is just the
TB> constructor.
TB> TB> How can I achieve to have a "global" exception handling just
for
my
TB> own UserControl code? With Application.ThreadException I would
TB> include also the hosting application...
TB> TB> Thanks in advance!
TB> Tom
