What is my next step to track down my app crash?
I have a c# winforms app which seems to randomly close without warning. I have run a dump file though winDbg but it hasn't narrowed down my search. Here's what it has given me.

It doesn't seem to throw any clues which link it back to the app.
The dump file it self came from bugsplat would this be the cause? I tried it in WinDbg as bugsplat also couldn't offer any help, the active thread looks like this.
ntdll!NtGetContextThread
ntdll!_SEH_epilog4_GS

app.Program.Main() [C:\Projects\App\App\Program.cs @ 55]
Which manages to link back to Application.Run command but not to anywhere else.
Am I missing something which can help me find what the cause of the crash is, or have I been over looking some information?
# # Update # #
The error turned out to be from the line.
System.Windows.Forms.Control.InvokeMarshaledCallbacks()
Which was being produced from a BeginInvoke call.
