Problem with Application.ThreadException

[Alex]

My Problem is that although i have added a handler to
Application.ThreadException and it works fine for my application exceptions,
it does not fire if an exception is generated inside an event handler of my
App.

eg. If i throw a exception inside DragDrop, or MouseDown of an event the
ThreadException does not fire !!

Any ideas ???

Thanks in advance

I just threw an exception in MouseDown of my form and my global error
handler code caught it in the Application.ThreadException.

Here is my app.vb module if you want to compare notes: (sorry about the
mess)

HTH,
Greg

MessageBox.Show("This application requires full-trust security
permissions to execute.")

Well Greg, first of all thanks for your response.
I used your code in my app, and yes an error on mouse down really
raises the threadexception event, but when i throw an exception from
the DragDrop event of a treeview... guess what.... nothing happens !!!

What is going on here ?
