Gathering crash reports for desktop applications

Crash reporting is also available for desktop applications. There are, again, many solutions available for desktop applications and most of them work in roughly the same way. One of these solutions is Raygun. Raygun is a commercial offering available for .NET applications, but works for many other languages and platforms as well.

1. Sign up for a Raygun account.
2. Install the Mindscape.Raygun4Net NuGet package on the solution.
3. Catch unhandled exceptions and forward them to Raygun.

 class Program    { private static readonly RaygunClient _raygunClient = ...
