Suggestion for error formatting

[Elrinia]

Have you guys considered calling Exception.ToString() and using that to fill in the error dialog box? That would make errors like this a little easier to read for the novice user. For instance, when my network was down, I got this message, which didn't include the type of the exception, and the exception message was tacked on to the end of the stack trace.

at WindowsApplication7.Form1.DownloadExtras()The underlying connection was closed: The remote name could not be resolved.

How about something like this instead? (Note that Exception.ToString() handles nested exceptions too!)
