Question

First, the problem: I have several free projects, and as any software they contains bugs. Some fellow users when encounter bug send me a bug-reports with stack

Answer 1

You should use Environment.FailFast, call FailFast in the Application.UnhandledException and a dump file will be created for you.

From the MSDN:

The FailFast method writes a log entry to the Windows Application event log using the message parameter, creates a dump of your application, and then terminates the current process.

Use the FailFast method instead of the Exit method to terminate your application if the state of your application is damaged beyond repair, and executing your application's try-finally blocks and finalizers will corrupt program resources. The FailFast method terminates the current process and executes any CriticalFinalizerObject objects, but does not execute any active try-finally blocks or finalizers.

You can write a simple app that will collect the log files and send them to you.

Now, opening the dump file is a bit tricky, Visual Studio cannot handle managed dump file (fixed in .NET 4.0) you can use WinDBG but you need to use SOS.
