.net - Replicate Try/catch/finally Using On Error Goto
Jun 14, 2012
Suppose in VB.NET you have:
Try
Debug.Print("Trying...")
Catch ex as Exception
throw new Exception("Exception", ex)
Finally
Debug.Print("Finally...")
End Try
How would you write this using the "On Error Goto" construct? (please no questions asking why I would want to do this, just curious if it can be done).

I understand how try-catch works and how try-finally works, but I find myself using those (usually) in two completely different scenarios:
try-finally (or using in C# and VB) is mostly used around some medium-sized code block that uses some resource that needs to be disposed properly.
try-catch is mostly used either
around a single statement that can fail in a very specific way or (as a catch-all) at a very high level of the application, usually directly below some user interface action.
In my experience, cases where a try-catch-finally would be appropriate, i.e., where the block in which I want to catch some particular exception is exactly the same block in which I use some disposable resource, are extremely rare. Yet, the language designers of C#, VB and Java seem to consider this to be a highly common scenario; the VB designers even think about adding catch to using.
Or am I just overly pedantic with my restrictive use of try-catch?
EDIT: To clarify: My code usually looks like this (functions unrolled for clarity):
Try
do something
Aquire Resource (e.g. get DB connection)
Try
[Code]....
which just seems to make much more sense than putting any of the two catches on the same level as finally just to avoid indentation.

If I throw an exception from within a catch, does the finally (from the catch) still execute? i.e.
Try
..some code with an exception in it...
catch ex as Exception
throw new SpecialException("blah blah" & ex.Message, ex)
[code]....

I have a (begginner) question on VB.NET. Is this good code (I mean, is it "bullet proof")?. It seems to work, but I understand the Return is executed AFTER the Finally. So how does it call a method on an allready disposed of object?

I have a SqlDataReader and I want to trap any exceptions with Try Catch Finally if the reader =cmd.ExecuteReader() statement fails. If this statement throws an exception do I need to close the reader? If so, where. Wherever I place the reader.close() statement I get an error that the reader has not been assigned a value yet.

I am handling errors via my global.asax in this method:
Dim CurrentException As Exception
CurrentException = Server.GetLastError()
Dim LogFilePath As String = Server.MapPath("~/Error/" & DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yy.HH.mm") & ".txt")
Dim sw As System.IO.StreamWriter = New System.IO.StreamWriter(LogFilePath)
[code]....
In my code I currently have no other error handling. Should I still insert try, catch, finally blocks?

I have a program in VB.Net that receives mails from Outlook, extracts attachments and inserts the attachments into a table through a query. I would like to put the query/queries in a Try/Catch block, but cannot do so as Outlook exceptions cannot be caught, and it gives me an error, and unless I put a very specific exception, I cannot catch it. Is there a workaround?
Edit:
Try
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
Exception is underlined and when I hover on it, it says: "Catch cannot catch type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Exception' because it is not in 'System.Exception' or a class that inherits from 'System.Exception'". This is affecting all my other code which I'd like to put into a Try/Catch block.

I am using VB.NET 2005 to create a Windows forms application. I have a procedure named SendMail that creates an instance of Outlook.Application, to send an email from my application. I found the code on this forum, I think.The procedure works fine, but I can't use error handling with it.I call the procedure from a button click event. I put the procedure call in a try/catch block, and the application won't build, with the following error.

So I want to now if that possible for .NET languages to ignore error without using try catch construction ?
I can ignore warring with #nowarring 40 for example, can I ignore error ?
simply wanted to call system pause with this way
open System.Runtime.InteropServices
[<DllImport(@"msvcrt.dll")>]
extern void system(string str)
system "pause"
but got Error message
unbalanced stack. This is probably because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Make sure that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature.
So I don't care, it works. But can I just ignore this error ? without doing weird stuff like that :
try (system "pause") catch |_->()
Ok , I solved my problem by adding CallingConvention=CallingConvention.Cdecl, but what the question was about skipping exceptions, so and I still don't know if I can do it.
So maybe I need to tell some real reason to not be down-voted hard - sometimes it's matters for program to live even with hard errors occupations, but even sometimes you don't need to catch them. You need just ignore them...

First I found that you can catch it and log it inside a catch, but this doesn't send an email. Then I found out about using the Error Signal class. That worked, however what wasn't apparent from reading, is that it treats the error like normal, so when I signal the error it goes to the custom error page still, I don't want that to happen. What I want to do is catch that error, log it, send the email, but stay on the page the error happened so I can provide special feedback. I do not want it go to the custom error page.
This is what I have and it redirects me to the custom error page.
Try
smtpClient.Send(mailMessage)
Catch smtpEx As SmtpException
errorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(smtpEx)
Catch ex As Exception
