Silverlight 4 application crashing rather than throwing exception

Question

I have been using Shawn Wildermuths example and it has been working fine no problems at all. Today, however, I have added a few of my own Models and ViewModels and it still works. Problem appears when I start to add the attribute [RequiresAuthentication] into my DomainService. Although the code has exception handling, it prefers to crash Internet Explorer rather than display the nice ErrorWindow that is part of a new Silverlight Business Application. Has anyone else come across this?

Answer 1

private void Application_UnhandledException(object sender, ApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
        {
            if (!System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached)
            {
                // Remove the ! from the above line
                // etc. 
            }
        }

You need to ensure that: if the app is running outside of the debugger, report via a childwindow. :)
