Hi,

I want to catch FileNotFoundException in case my
application is unable to find a required assembly file,
for logging a error message to my log file. Is it possible
to handle this exception ? I treid catching this exception
in Main(). But it wont work! Please let me know if any one
has any idea.

Thanks,
Prashanth

You could use the AssemblyResolve event of the AppDomain to log this.

It sounds like there's a static reference to this assembly in Main(), which
the JIT will load before that method is executed. You should move that
reference to another method (which can be called by Main()) in order to
catch the exception. For example:

public static void Main(String[] args)
{
try {
OtherMethod();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException) {
}
}

public static void OtherMethod()
{
// code that uses the assembly that may not be found
}

Note that, if this is the cause of the problem, the AssemblyResolve event
will not be subscribed to in time to be useful, for the same reason (unless,
of course, you move the static reference to another method).
