A wrapper for the HockeySDK-Core for Windows to use them in commandline applications and windows forms applications.

Hi there 👋

I'm an experienced CTO focused on Workspace Management and Cloud Transformation; my passion is to enable tech teams to leverage disruptive technologies to build simple-to-use products.

I'm excited to work on innovations and products, bringing technology's customer value to the surface and making them more valuable. Recurrent re-iterating all phases of a product lifecycle - Strategy, Design, and Execution - is an enjoyable part of this journey.

Within Matrix42, we help organizations digitize the workspace environment of their employees. I'm proud to be part of the team building the software for a digital workspace experience that manages devices, applications, processes, and services that are simple, secure, and compliant.

I love acting as Public Speaker in that industry to let as many as possible participate in changing IT works!

Should a CTO write code? At least, I do so enjoy my personal preferences:

hockeysdk-console's Issues

HockeySDK-Console does not appear to work when running Windows Forms application outside of Visual Studio

I am currently trialing various components for crash reporting of .NET 4.5.2 Windows Forms applications, and HockeyApp is one such component (through HockeySDK-Console).

In my proof-of-concept application, I have the following code snippet for using the ConsoleCrashHandler class in Program.cs:

static class Program
{
    /// <summary>
    /// The main entry point for the application.
    /// </summary>
    [STAThread]
    static void Main()
    {
        using (var hockeyApp = new ConsoleCrashHandler("INSERT NAMESPACE HERE", "INSERT APPLICATION ID HERE"))
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Application.Run(new Form1());
        }
    }
}

What I have observed is that when debugging the application using Visual Studio 2013, crash logs are getting stored in my AppData\Roaming folder, and when I relaunch the application the crash logs are getting uploaded to HockeyApp. However when running the application outside of Visual Studio an unhandled exception does cause my application to crash, but no crash log is recorded on my system.

I am using version 2.0.4 of HockeyApp.SDK.

Is it possible that I am using the ConsoleCrashHandler the wrong way (i.e. need to declare this elsewhere)? I have tried using a class that inherits from ApplicationContext but that too yields the same results for me.
