An unhandled exception is one that propagates up the call stack without being caught by an exception handler in a catch block. By default, the .NET runtime will cause a dialog to be displayed when an unhandled exception occurs.
When an unhandled exception occurs, you can’t recover from the exception. But you can do some final logging and then terminate the application quietly by adding a handler to the AppDomain.UnhandledException event.
