hate to say it but we should probably shove log4net in the code to log stuff like this


In general I would recommend that we just remove these kinds of general try-catchers entirely. A catch should make an effort to deal with the exception, not just report it and continue on its merry way while the application state is potentially corrupted. We might as well let the application crash if something unexpected goes wrong, and let the built-in .NET unhandled exception handler report the error for us.

Although the catch clause can be used without arguments to catch any type of exception, this usage is not recommended. In general, you should only catch those exceptions that you know how to recover from. Therefore, you should always specify an object argument derived from System.Exception.


Put plainly: Don't catch if you can't recover.
