Hi Bill,

the problem here is that my exceptions are handled. As far as I can see, only unhandled exceptions get shown in the dashboard. Is there a way to get handled exceptions shown too?

Thanks,

Andreas

You can download and analyze the latest crash dumps for the most common crashes. Please refer to the following links for more information:

If you need more sophisticated logging mechanisms, you should implement this functionality yourself. You could for example log errors to some remote data storage, such as for example a database using a WCF service, from within your application. There is a code example here that may be helpful: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Logging-Sample-for-Windows-0b9dffd7

Here is another link on the subject: http://bernhardelbl.wordpress.com/2013/01/12/how-to-write-log-files-in-windows-store-apps/

You can handle the Application.UnhandledException to log any unhandled exception that is being thrown in your application: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13636751/is-there-a-global-exception-handler-in-windows-store-apps

handled exceptions would not show in the dashboard.  You would have to log them with an analytic framework so you could have a record of what and how often they are happening.
