Using ThreadExceptionEventHandler: determine which thread caused the exception

Using the Application.ThreadExceptionEventHandler, is it possible to determine which thread caused the exception (the thread id)?

The same question applies to using the AppDomain.UnhandledExceptionEventHandler to catch non-UI thread exceptions.

If the answer is no, is there any other way to determine which thread raised the unhandled exception in such cases?

From stackoverflow
  • I haven't checked, but I'd expect the handler to be executed in the thread which threw the exception - in which case Thread.CurrentThread would be what you want. I can't see how it would make much sense for the handler to be executed in any other thread.

    jpbochi : I checked it. It works.
    Miky Dinescu : Once again, you are correct :) I ran a test and it proved your point
