Exceptions and Threads

[DeepT]

If you start a thread, and somewhere in the thread an exception is thrown, but not caught in that thread, what happens?

Something like:

try
{
   MyThread.Start();
}
catch
{
}

Does the exception propagate up to the thread or process that started it?

Or does your program crash with an unhandled exception error?

Well I woulda thought otherwise, but it appears that if a thread doesn't have an exception handler in C# (.net 2.0+)and an exception goes unhandled, it kills the whole app. Apparently a global exception handler isnt good enough in C#. AKA each thread must handle its own exceptions in C#.
