Global Error Handling for C# .NET Office Add-In / C++ COM Shim

Introduction We are developing a COM Add-In for Microsoft Office in .NET / C# (Visual Studio 2010). As we would like to avoid having to increase code complexity by an excessive use of try-catch blocks, we would like to have global error handling in our .NET / C# Add-In - which unfortunately is not working for COM add-ins like for Windows Forms applications through "[login to view URL]" or "[login to view URL]". We have created a COM Shim for our .NET / C# Add-In for Microsoft Office using the COM Shim Wizard ([login to view URL]) and found and article on MSDN which describes how global exception handling can be done in a similar ASP / COM setting ([login to view URL]). We need your help to translate ASP / COM example to our use case. Project We need a COM Shim (i.e. a COM .DLL loader for a managed .NET add-In) which allows global error handling within .NET so that we can catch all exceptions before they are handled by the Office application the add-in is running in. Environment - Visual Studio 2010 - C# for the Office Add-In - we will provide you with a test Add-In project throwing unhandled exceptions that need to be caught - C++ for the COM Shim (i.e. loader DLL) - we will provide you with a test COM Shim project created by the COM Shim Wizard (see above) - Please use information provided in [login to view URL] as a starting point
