Unhandled exception logging facility for non-ASP apps? (ELMAH for console apps)

Question

Is there a facility similar to ELMAH but for non-ASP applications? One that will handle all unhandled exceptions and write them to multiple sources?

Or is there some way to easily capture all unhandled exceptions, similar to Application_Error in an ASP.NET Global.asax.cs file? If that can be done, I can then just use NLog or similar to log them. Was just hopeful a framework similar to ELMAH existed.

Answer 1

You CAN capture unhandled exceptions in a WinForms app. This previous post contains the answer you are looking for.

Edit - added

Actually, here is a nicer article outlining how to do this.
