title: Handle .net exceptions at application level
body: <p>I was reading a couple of articles a while back which I think described a behaviour where you can, in a .net application (specifically VB.net), allow an exception to occur, and then handle it in some kind of application-level exception handler, as opposed to within a Try/Catch block.
  My google-fu is weak at the moment, so I'm not having much luck guessing what this feature is called in order to find information about it.</p>
  
  <p>If this rings a bell for any of you, can you point me in the right direction on what exactly the feature is called so that I can search for it?</p>
  
  <p>Sample code is always welcome, of course, but this is mostly just a case of me forgetting the name of the feature and being unable to search for it.</p>
