How to make an error messagebox that contains a button to show error details?

Question

I want to use C# to make an error messagebox with an option to show details of the error just like the messagebox below:

Does anybody know how to make a messagebox like that?

Answer 1

According to the documentation, the dialog is not intended to be used directly:

ThreadExceptionDialog

However, it looks to me like you can use it like a standard dialog:

try {
    // code
}
catch(Exception e) {
    var d = new ThreadExceptionDialog(e);
    d.ShowDialog();
}

If they hit continue I imagine you will drop out of ShowDialog and continue. If they press Quit I imagine execution stops. Easy to test.

Of course it would only be a fairly easy job to put together your own version to use as you please and you would have total control over it.
