Catching exceptions thrown from threads?

[Alex]

Hi

Is it possible to catch exceptions thrown by a System.Threading.Thread
object?

i.e. I have an instance of a class that is created using the normal
Thread/ThreadStart method, but once it starts, there will be no try/catch
block to catch any exceptions thrown (other than the ones that might be
raised by the Thread/ThreadStart classes when I'm initiating the thread).

I was thinking of using events (i.e. instead of throwing an exception my
class can raise an event), but that still won't ensure all exceptions are
trapped.

Thanks
Alex

If you are using Windows Forms you should be able to hook
Application.ThreadException event to handle unhandled exceptions thrown from
threads.

Put a try/catch around your whole thread start method. Then log or report
exception back to where ever as needed using event or your own queue.
