In C# you don't need to handle *EVERY* type of exception that a class *might* 
throw, like Java.  For the most part, setup generic handlers at *least* for 
System.ApplicationException, and possibly System.Exception (depending on your 
usage, I've had to do this for stuff in windows a few times).

 From there, if you are dealing with databases, add in handling for the 
*Exception within your client's namespace.  There is generally a base 
Exception class for a given section of the namespace structure.

If you are dealing with threading, System.Threading.ThreadAbortException 
should be checked for... it really just depends on what you are working with..

3rd party components will vary though, but the above is a general practice.

NOTE: When creating your own project/namespace, you should consider creating a 
generic exception class for that project/namespace that inherits the 
System.ApplicationException (for projects/applications)

Or System.Exception class when raising exceptions caused from platform 
libraries (ie P/Invoke) that should probably not allow the application to 
continue..
