Atlanta .NET Regular Guys : Disable Error Reporting Dialog for your application

Disable Error Reporting Dialog for your application

Ok so it is true, Microsoft may not need your dump files for an application you are working on. Here is a suggestion on how to turn off the Error Reporting Dialog.

Go to the Error Reporting section of the configuration of Windows. There is more than one way to get there either through My Computer or Control Panel->System
1) Click Start, then right click on My Computer, then click Properties

Turnoff-errordialog

2) Click the Advanced tab, click the Error Reporting button

Turnoff-errordialog-systemprop

3) Click the Choose Programs… button

Turnoff-errordialog-errorreport

4) Click Add… on the “Do not report errors for these programs:“, then Browse… to your program and click OK.

Turnoff-errordialog-chooseprogram

After that you are set and you should see more errors on the screen. This will also take less time to and less resources to throw the error because it doesn’t have to create the dump file.
