   You mean you want to have it be able to generate a log file that holds the stack trace?

   I actually have a library that uses the WriteDump function (with an attribute) that creates the dump and writes said log file when the UnhandledException event is triggered. Perhaps when I get the chance I could propose that to dotnet/runtime and users could just use that library instead (which has a simpler setup as it would be as simple as the following:

   [assembly: MiniDump(Text = "Text that gets used when a crash happens.", DumpType = MiniDumpType.Full)]

   or

   [MiniDump(Text = "Text that gets used when a crash happens.", DumpType = MiniDumpType.Full)]
   class Program
   {
       // snip.
   }

   or

   class Program
   {
       [MiniDump(Text = "Text that gets used when a crash happens.", DumpType = MiniDumpType.Full)]
       internal static void Main(string[] args)
       {
           // snip.
       }
   }

   And then they can setup the event that will control where the message gets printed set by the Text, and ExceptionTitle properties. Valid places can be: console, a GUI messagebox, anywhere.

   When I created this setup it simplified how I went about creating crash dumps to any program that I make and in terms where that setup was usable cross platform without any need to check what the operating system was underneath.

   Although I do admit it would be nice if it was possible to configure what files are to be included into the crash report, and where it needs to travel to directly go to the developer of the program (if they do not want it to be sent to Microsoft).
