My question is if I use this in my asp.net application, I should NOT use the static type in the unhandled exception handler. Correct? Great Tip btw!!!

Hello,

Yes that would be correct that you would not want to make this type of functionality static in a web application. However, in a web app, unhandled exceptions are handled differently. Main does not exist in a web application, however, in the Web.config you can specify a page to display when an exception is not handled.

Take care,

Tom

Kind of funny,

In my last response, I couldn't remember the config tag for specifying the error page so I didn't put it knowing if you look at the web config you would find it. Then when I clicked submit to post my response, the site gave me an error screen displaying the webconfig. So I copied the tag and here it is.

<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>

I have the full story on unhandled exceptions for both .NET 1.0 and .NET 2.0 (for both CF and full fx) on my blog. A good starting point is this one:
