How does it work?
‘Client’ being what ever code is calling the method in question where the exception is encountered. You can handle it in the method, or if you don’t handle it, the caller will get that exception. If it does not handle it, it keeps going up the stack of method calls until it reaches Main() and nothing has handled it (or some equivalent), causing the unhandled exception handler to step in.
“The Client” then would be whatever mechanism is in place to display a ‘friendly’ error to the user, whether that’s a web page or winform, etc.
