Best crash reporting framework for .NET desktop applications? [closed]

Answer 1

Wumpus (aka Jeff Atwood) published some cool exception handling stuff years ago (it may have even been .net 1.1 days) but it is quite good and easy to use (and will convert to newer version of .net with success.) I am using it with an app I am writing...and since you get full source you can extend it easily.

Here is a link...

Oh yeah...the following link was the same library as above converted to c# and extended a bit...so choose your flavor.

Take a peek at Elmah (Error Logging Modules and Handlers) - an application-wide error logging facility that is completely pluggable. It can be dynamically added to a running ASP.NET web application, or even all ASP.NET web applications on a machine, without any need for re-compilation or re-deployment.

Although geared for ASP.NET, it may give you some ideas regarding Winforms implementation of somthing similar.

Answer 3

There is a commercial alternative called {smartassembly} that does error reporting.
