Common Error Handling

[Mannga]

Hi All,

I am trying to create something that will handle all my error handling in one spot.

I would like to be able to do something like this.

try
{
//code here...
}
catch( Exception exc )
{
ErrorHandler.Function(exc)
}

and then my error handler will write the error into my log file, popup a message box to let the user know that he broke something ... and then coninue.

I can do all the error handling but where would I put the error handling function so that is can be called from anywhere and can still use MessageBoxes?

Thanks,
Gavin Mannion

Just an idea - why don't you have your error handling function return an error message, after doing the logging - and handle the error message returned in the function?

I have thought of doing it this way but not only does that mean I need to write an extra line of code in every try/catch statement but there are also a few more reasons why I would like to know if it is possible to popup windows from a seperate thingie ... like a class.

Well to answer my own question ;-)

I created a Component added the line
using System.Windows.Forms
and it does everything I need it to now... simple but it works

Thanks for the input

Cheers,
Gavin
