Q: 

Application.ThreadException for ALL exception? Not just un-trapped ones?

I'm trying to create a top level exception capture for a debug version of some real-time data capture software and was wondering if there was a top-level exception handler similar to Application.ThreadException that captures ALL exceptions, not just unhandled/trapped ones.

Thanks in advance

+2  A: 

ALL exceptions inherit System.Exception. This would be your top-level that you can trap on.

Right, but I was asking specifically for already handled exceptions. Probably should have been more clear, but this was essentially for real time/ uninterrupted logging. Upped for my ambiguity

+4  A: 

If you only want to be notified of all exceptions, you can use the AppDomain.FirstChanceException event.

Note: This is only available in .NET 4.0.

Nice option--but is only for .NET 4.0 and up.

I believe the only *other* answer is to actually write a debugger and have it attach to the process being monitored. This is likely more difficult than upgrading to .NET 4.0. :)

Agreed, only a debugger could get the first chance notification. A program cannot debug itself.
