VB.NET 2010, Framework 3.5

An app that will run continuously and unattended on a server. There is no user interface. There is no human intervention. What can one do to be sure that no message boxes are displayed if an unforeseen error or exception is thrown?

  • there really isnt. you need a try catch in the areas that are likely to throw an exception otherwise the JIT will kick in thus crashing your app and a dialog being shown. why would the app be unattended? – Ahmed ilyas Nov 26 '13 at 21:15
  • It processes data is it comes in, no one is there to click and interact with it. – Rose Nov 26 '13 at 21:21

    I think making the Application type a 'Windows Service' is what I am looking for – Rose Nov 26 '13 at 21:28
