c# - Is there a way to catch all unhandled exceptions thrown by a given class?

Question

I know how to catch all unhandled exceptions in a given thread, but wondering if there is a way to catch all unhandled exceptions thrown by a given class instead of wrapping each of the calls in a try catch block.

In case there's no way of doing this (likely to be the case) how would you achieve the same effect?

Just to give a bit of context, I am using a custom coded service proxy that decouples the rest of the app from the service data contract (WCF). I basically need to catch the faults so that I can extract specific fields (inner descriptions etc.), package them up into an custom exception and throw it again.

Any help appreciated.

If it is about WCF exceptions, I would recommend plugging a dedicated behavior into the WCF pipeline. I have written a detailed example here

It is based on two interfaces IErrorHandler and IServiceBehavior, it is also usable as an attribute and in file-based configurations.
