I don't think this can work, the new form is not running in the context of your code above, it is only being launched by it. If you check the stacktrace for the exception thrown you shouldn't see the code above in it, so it can't catch the exception.

Update: I just created a test project & tried it. The stacktrace knows nothing about the original form. If you want to catch unhandled exceptions you may want to check out this question Unhandled Exception Handler in .NET 1.1
