looking for an unhandled exception reporting component/service

I'm looking for a component/service that will log unhandled exceptions to a
Web service. While there are numerous frameworks and examples that can log
exceptions to a log file, the event log, or send an e-mail, these approaches
don't work for my application which is intended to be a retail desktop
application. Asking my users for their SMTP server, or requesting that they
manually attach a file and send me an e-mail is a nonstarter.

While I could manage to roll my own, I'm much more inclined to buy a
ready-made solution that already includes some management side tools and
reports.

The Windows Error Reporting service from Microsoft is appealing for this,
but I don't believe I can use it as this is a completely managed solution.

Any pointers or suggestions are appreciated.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your post!!

I did not know of a very good third-party component that get what you want.
But if you want to do the job yourself, you may follow the perfect article
below(Writen by Jason Clark):
"Unexpected Errors in Managed Applications"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/06/NET/
It introduced 4 types of unhandled exceptions in .net application, and
tells us how to handle these exceptions. With the sample code in this
article, I think it is not very hard for us to make a customized error
reporting through WebService. Hope this information helps you.

Anyway, let's wait to see if other community members have any good
suggestion. Thanks
