That annoying “Source file not found” dialog
If you don’t have Enterprise edition of EurekaLog (the one, that comes with sources) – sometimes you may encounter “Source file not found” dialog. This article explains what it is and what you can do with it.
Tips & Tricks in EurekaLog, part 1
Many our customers often ask trivial questions about how to do different things with EurekaLog. Well, we have a bit of documentation (chm-file and online one), which describes some public internals, which you can use to customize default behavior. Apparently, this is “dictionary”-like style documentation. In order to use it, you must study all pieces and then come with some way of putting them together to get the desired behavior. Looks like this is too much work for many people, as they continue to ask trivia questions like “My application runs in unattended environment. How can I disable EurekaLog’s dialog?”.
So, I’ve planned few posts about typical usage cases and how you can implement them. This will be sort of Q&A/FAQ-style articles. There are simple questions and answers on them. Answers usually include changing project options or writing a simple bits of code (usually events handlers). Here goes part one.

EurekaLog’s anti-freeze feature
As you know, EurekaLog is a great tool to catch exceptions in your application. Though there are some cases which you want to consider as “bugs”, but there is no exception to catch it!
For example, consider your application is deadlocking. How about endless cycle which loads CPU core up to 100%? What about do not updating your UI for 10 minutes? Are those issues bugs or not?
Yes, all these cases are bugs in your application. But no exception is raised in such cases – your application simply stops working. Those cases can be very nasty and hard to diagnose, because your application doesn’t show any error message and doesn’t generate any log files.
So, how can you catch them?
