.NET Global exception handler in console application

by

Question: I want to define a global exception handler for unhandled exceptions in my console application. In asp.net, one can define one in global.asax, and in windows applications /services, one can define as below

AppDomain currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
currentDomain.UnhandledException += new UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(MyExceptionHandler);

But how can I define a global exception handler for a console application ?
currentDomain seems not to work (.NET 2.0) ?

Edit:

Argh, stupid mistake.
In VB.NET, one needs to add the “AddHandler” keyword in front of currentDomain, or else one doesn’t see the UnhandledException event in IntelliSense…
That’s because the VB.NET and C# compilers treat event handling differently.
