Notice the catch (Type) instead of catch (Type myVariable). Is this possible with VB.NET, or do you always have to declare a variable when you catch exception types, like so:

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.
Error 68 'Catch' cannot catch type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Exception' because it is not 'System.Exception' or a class that inherits from 'System.Exception'. C:datadevdmtiQTSQTSv7_1_20100212wQTSQTSReportsCriteria

I 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.

I have a project converted from Visual Studio 2005 to Visual Studio 2010. It compiles and runs.
When I prune "unused references's from this project as listed by Visual Studio, the project fails to compile with the subject error message.
In particular one of the "unused refererences" is to "Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll". The IDE does not allow me to add back this particular reference.
What do I need to add back as a referenceto get this items?
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 have this scenario: in a Sub I have a Try...Catch statement.Within that Try..Catch I call another sub.In that 2nd sub is also a Try...Catch.(see below for example).Now if an exception occurs in the 2nd sub's Try...Catch, which Catch gets excecuted? The 2nd one, the 1st one or both?
Private Sub sub1()

View 3 RepliesI am working on an app that uses a third-party charting component.It is a .Net component. There have been some occasions when exceptions have occurred inside the third-party component code, but my try/catch is not trapping them.Should they get trapped?My code is structured roughly like this:[code]I have since found and fixed what was causing the exceptions, but I would have thought that this should trap them. What happens when I run in the IDE is that it crashes and Visual Studio throws up a page telling me there is no code available to debug, and no disassembly available.Fair enough, but I repeat - why doesn't the exception get trapped?
View 4 RepliesIt is possible to catch an exception and throw a new exception which wraps the first exception as an inner exception: [URL] Also, if I call a function and it throws a certain error, but I catch it, will the calling code's catch handler execute? If so, and it is of a higher exception type, is this not wrapping the exception? eg I can throw exception ex of type IndexOutOfRange, log it but rethrow, catch a higher up exception and do something, or I can throw a new exception and wrap an inner exception like:
View 1 RepliesIs there some special way to catch exceptions in finally block ?
View 2 RepliesIs there anything similar to the MyApplication_UnhandledException for an user control in VB?
I would like to have a central point where to catch all unhandled exceptions of a user control, without propagating the exception to the application that uses the user control. I made some test raising an exception in a method of my user control where there is no try/catch code (of course in the true project all methods have a try/catch block). The exception was caught by MyApplication_UnhandledException event of the application using the user control. But this is too "far" from the point where the exception happens and in worst case the user should restart the application.
I would like to realize a behaviour for the user control in order that if the user control fails, the exception is not propagated till the application, but just caught at user control level.
I have a SqlDataReader and I want to trap any exceptions with Try Catch Finally if the reader =cmd.ExecuteReader() statement fails.

View 2 RepliesA few weeks back in reply to a thread, I said then that it's sometimes worse to use a Try/Catch when there's nothing in the Catch!There are exceptions to that I'm sure, but too often the Try/Catch is used with a blank Catch that makes even the developer scratch their heads when the program crashes because they have nothing to go on (by their own doing).DevExpress (and I'm a big fan of their stuff) has a little three minute video that encapsulates that concept well and I thought that you all might enjoy watching it:[URL]

I have to define a name for a varying-length column of cells. The name is used later to define the range for a Data Validation List. I just cannot figure out (and the Help Function isn't assisting) how to define the Name, say "DropOrdNum" using a variable as the address for the last cell in the range. It is easy to define a name for "O13:O2000" - no problem, but then I have a whole lot of blanks in my drop-down list. But how do I define a name for "O13:LastCell", by making "LastCell" the Range Variable (am I correct in this) for the address of the last cell in the active range and then defining the name "DropOrdNum" as being the range "O13" to either "O(the row number of the last cell)" or "LastCell", being the address of the last cell in the active range, which varies by the hour?

View 5 RepliesI've written a DLL that contains a bunch of classes. One of my methods validates the contents of a file and throws any necessary exceptions based on invalid content - I'm using a standard "throw new exception." call the thing is, when my code reaches the line where the exception is thrown, my Visual Studio IDE hangs up on that line instead of the external call to my validate method.
[Code]...
So my IDE is actually pulling up the VB file that contains the DLL content and highlights the line in the ValidateFile instead of just hanging on the oFC.ValidateFile method line where the exception is thrown instead of the IDE hanging on the oFC.ValidateFile line in my calling application.
I just want user to have access to the any exceptions that are raised. Here if "C:FileThatDoesntExist.txt" file does not exist then Dll throw exception which should be catch through Application.ThreadException.. How to Catch exception from DLL ?
