Question

I’m developing an application with an error log when something goes bad. It must send an e-mail with the error details so I can remotely fix and upload a new update with the fix.

I’m using Try Catch Exception but I have a lot of methods to include this option in.

Is there another way to do it without doing so much code?

Answer 1

Since exceptions bubble up to the application instance try using the Application.SetUnhandledExceptionMode Method.

From above MSDN Link:

It is often not feasible to catch all of the exceptions thrown by
Windows Forms. Using this method, you can instruct your application
whether it should catch all unhandled exceptions thrown by Windows
Forms components and continue operating, or whether it should expose
them to the user and halt execution.

Public Shared Sub Main()
    ' Add the event handler for handling UI thread exceptions to the event.
    AddHandler Application.ThreadException, AddressOf Form1_UIThreadException

    ' Set the unhandled exception mode to force all Windows Forms errors to go through
    ' our handler.
    Application.SetUnhandledExceptionMode(UnhandledExceptionMode.CatchException)

    ' Add the event handler for handling non-UI thread exceptions to the event. 
    AddHandler AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException, AddressOf CurrentDomain_UnhandledException

    ' Runs the application.
    Application.Run(New Form1()) '' This is your applications Main Form
End Sub

Private Shared Sub Form1_UIThreadException(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal t As ThreadExceptionEventArgs)

'Put Error Handling Code here see the MSDN article for an example implementation

End Sub

Private Shared Sub CurrentDomain_UnhandledException(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As UnhandledExceptionEventArgs)

''Put Error Handling Code here see the MSDN article for an example implementation

End Sub
