C# - Use Case For Try-catch-finally With Both Catch And Finally
Feb 17, 2010I 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.

.net - Replicate Try/catch/finally Using On Error Goto
Jun 14, 2012Suppose in VB.NET you have:

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).

View 11 RepliesError - Catch Cannot Catch Type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Exception'
Mar 25, 2011I 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.

Catch Log4net Exceptions / Use Try / Catch Approach
Jan 23, 2012I need to catch log4net exceptions (its own exceptions not app exceptions logged by it). I wish there's a way of doing it this way: [code] I have this code implemented and there's no errors in compilation but i force log4net to have an error (pointing to a non existing database in the config file) and nothing is threw.I've tried the listener aproach: [code] and it's writing the errors to log4net.txt, the forced ones i mean.This last aproach has a couple of drawbacks: it won't append every error to the file, if the error is the same it doesn't write it, i can't get the listener to write every error to that file, only one (I don't know how to fully configure the trace listener, it might be that). Thus it won't append the date and hour to every line wich is a necesity for me. Finally i can't give structure to it (xml). Even if the listener work i need to use the try/catch aproach, since i'm using ExceptionHandling from Enterprise library to log the errors in my app.
