Question

I have been looking at the Windows API Code Pack 1.1 and have seen a Error sample and would like to integrate it into my Application, the main idea would be for it to show if any error in the application happens, well not any but some that I choose.

How can I program this?

I am using WPF

Thanks

In the constructor of your App class add:

   DispatcherUnhandledException += new System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherUnhandledExceptionEventHandler(App_DispatcherUnhandledException);

then add a method to the App class similar to the following:

void App_DispatcherUnhandledException(object sender, System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Handled = true;
        if (MessageBox.Show("An unexpected error has occurred.  You should exit this program as soon as possible.\n\n" +
                            "Exit the program now?\n\nError details:\n" + e.Exception.Message,
                            "Unexpected error", MessageBoxButton.YesNo) == MessageBoxResult.Yes)

            Shutdown();
    }
