elmah: exceptions without HttpContext?

Question

I spawn a thread on Application_Start and would like to log exceptions. There is no `Context/HttpContext/HttpContext.Current`, so how might I get it to log? At the moment, it does not catch any exception in my threads and if I write `ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(ex);` I get an error about context cannot be null. Maybe I can create a dummy HttpContext but somehow I don't think that will work well. -edit- I tried `ErrorSignal.Get(new HttpApplication()).Raise(ex);` and it doesn't seem to pick up that exception.

Accepted Answer

Make sure you set your application name in web.config

```
<errorLog type="Elmah.SqlErrorLog, Elmah" 
          connectionStringName="nibWeb" 
          applicationName="Nib.Services" />
```

and then

```
ErrorLog.GetDefault(null).Log(new Error(error));
```

will work
