AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException does not let me finish my function

Question

Currently, I have a method that is called when there is an unhandled exception. All this does is log the exception to a dump file. However, the streamwriter does not write the full information I'd like it to write to the file. I assume this is because the program has shutdown before it can finish writing the file.

Is there any way to change this behaviour?

use

using(var stream = new StreamWriter(@"C:\..."))
{
    //logic
}

This will make sure, that stream will be closed and flushed in the finally section.

I normally prefer to dispose things myself, but thanks too :) – It'sNotALie. Feb 09 '13 at 13:27

`I normally prefer to dispose things myself` - why not to take advantage of C# syntax? Just makes code shorter. By the way, I bet you aren't checking for null in finally section (just kidding, you do check for null, aren't you?) – Ilya Ivanov Feb 09 '13 at 13:28
It's just an odd quirk that I have: kind of like I barely ever use var. :) – It'sNotALie. Feb 09 '13 at 13:30
Ok, I see. some bugs happens because of different quirks in the system. – Ilya Ivanov Feb 09 '13 at 13:32
