Getting good dumps when an exception is thrown(blogs.msdn.com)

Unfortunately, the default way of catching exception give you a very useful dump in your error-report. The problem is that by the time the catch block has been started, the stack frames showing how the exception occurred are no longer available. Managed exceptions are built on Windows Structured Exception Handling, and so have the same two-pass model. ‘catch’ blocks are executed on the second pass, but really what we want here is to generate our error-report on the first-pass (before EBP gets reset)....
