SafeCrashHandler

A .NET crash handler

SafeCrashHandler allows you to handle almost all .NET unhandled exceptions and crashes effortlessly.

Getting Started

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    // Choose if you want your app to restart when it crashes
    CrashHandler.RestartAppOnCrash = true;
    CrashHandler.Start();
    
    // Your code here
}

It also allows you to subscribe to the events that fire during a crash.

Events

• CrashHandler.UnhandledException is the first event to fire, and as such, is limited in what you can do with it.

  It will report to you the unhandled exception, and that's it.

• CrashHandler.Crash is the second event, and is fired from a separate process.

  The main process is paused, a memory dump has been created and you are able to interact with the .NET CLR in many ways, from reading arbitrary memory to managing threads and a whole lot more. For more info on what can be done, visit the clrmd repository.

Remember to do everything you need to here, because the memory dump will be deleted afterwards if not copied elsewhere.

• CrashHandler.Exit is the last event to fire, and is also fired from a separate process.

  This event is fired after the application has crashed, but before a new instance starts up if you have RestartAppOnCrash set to true.

Properties

• RestartAppOnCrash makes sure that the crash handler restarts the application whenever a crash occurs.

• CrashCounter counts how many times the application has crashed and has subsequently been restarted.
