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.



You should never have an empty catch like that unless you want to ignore it.

However I'd rather catch and put a nicer error up and log the full exception. If the standard .NET one comes up then there's no way to get the stack trace for reporting. If we have a log file, or at lest a dialog showing the error, then we can get those reports posted. Even better if you can get some automated error reporting that sends any unhandled exceptions to a given email address.
