I'm interested in having a generic 'Try Catch' clause, with some case statements or if/than statements within the Catch part so that I can handle different error types differently. some way to get ex.Errorcode or ex.ErrorType that differentiates the different errors to a unique value.
How can this be done?
Try
'some code taht will throw an error'
Catch ex AS Exception
If ex.ErrorCode = 20 then
' Do something'

View 6 RepliesI 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.
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

Here is the code:
Sub SendMail(ByVal sFile As String)
' Create an Outlook application.
Dim oApp As Outlook._Application

One of the things I loved about VB6 is that you had the ability to tell the development environment to break on all errors regardless of what error handling you had set up. Is it possible to do the same thing in VS2008 so that the debugger will stop on any error even if it happens inside a try-catch statement?

I've got that code in a try/catch statement and it shows me via a MsgBox the error "Failure sending mail".
The follow code can be called about 6K times on the server it is run on then gets a out of memory error in the last catch statement. I don't see what is wrong with the code, it works well up until the out of memory..

I have tried repeatedly to use a For Each Next statement inExcel 2003. The intent of this is to ititerate through a predefined selection of cells and set the value of the cell 3 columns to the right based on the value of the cell in the selection.
The latest code I have tried to use is the following:
SR.Range("a5").Activate
SR.Range("a5", ActiveCell.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Offset(0, 5).Select
[code]....
Where SR is the active sheet. (I have only been introduced to VBA and code language for a few weeks, so I am learning as fast as I can. Please excuse my ignorance!)When I get to the 'If x.value' line I get the type mismatch error. I have tried to set my "each" to variant variable types and my "collection" (or selection as it were) to different variable types and constantly I am getting this same error regardless of my efforts.
The following code causes a "Warning" that Variable is used before value assigned.How do I restructure this Try/catch to eliminate error on the myreader.close command in the Catch part? Code appears to work fine but I dont like Warnings. [code]
View 8 Replieshow to use them then before, but am still a little confused with a few aspects. Here goes:
1.) Lets say you have a method that checks for a certain condition(s) and if it fails Throws an exception. Does it have to be in a try/catch block? Meaning can the "Throw" statement exist in a block with no try/catch statement?
2.) Now lets say we have a method that has a try catch block and in it there is a throw statement. When the throw statement is executed does it first try to find an appropriate catch block in the same method or does it immediately go back to the calling method without looking at the catch statements in the current method where the exception was thrown?
3.) I created a custom exception class that inherits from ApplicationException. Next I created a method which has a catch block that catches this type of exception and does some action. Is the System(i.e CLR) smart enough to throw an exception of this type, or does it only throw exceptions from SystemException?
4.) I know that some people are more liberal in their use of exceptions and others use it more sparingly when truly strange stuff happen like the DB going down. I am writing code where I am getting some info back from the database, converting it and then storing it. Sometimes there might be data that comes back from the database and other times the field is empty and the Null value comes back. Therefore in the instances where Null comes back from the database I should not convert the value to anything, since I will get an error. What should I do in this situation? Should I let the CLR throw the exception when it goes to convert the Null value or should I check for the Null value and if it exists not convert?
5.) In general when I throw exceptions, is it sensible to only throw exceptions of the type Application Exception or are there instances where the programmer throws exceptions of the type SystemException?

Catch
[code].....
I seen this in legacy code. What, if any, is the purpose of a single Throw within a Catch?
[Code]...
Is the outcome the same as if the original error was not caught? Would you use a Throw statement w/o parameters to re-throw the original error, typically after performing some action first?

I am doing regression testing using NUnit, WatiN and VB.net. What I am doing is opening an IE page, selecting some data, making a registration and then on view registration page testing the registration by assertion. Any good way to use try and catch on every assert. i am using it because if some assert fails it will stop executing the rest of the statement and quits without running rest of the tests. Now I have put try and catch on every assert and writing the fail message in log file.
For instance If I am checking for some airline reservation booking. After creating a booking, On view Booking Summary Page I am testing weather it is displaying cancel booking button or not. For this I am using the following code:
Try Assert.IsTrue(_internetExplorer.Button(Find.ById(New Regex("CBooking"))).Exists)
Catch ex As Exception d_logger.LogResultTextFile("Cancel Button does not Exist", True, False) End Try
I am checking this by running this in a loop for no of bookings created. I want to keep running the test even if in one booking it wont finds the button but keep checking for other bookings.
I'm getting 'Catch' cannot catch type 'Object' because it is not 'System.Exception' or a class that inherits from 'System.Exception'. and 'Expression detected' Code underlined in blue: Catch obj1 As Object When (?)

I have a button on a web page that I just need a little help with some extra code. I think I need a TRY, CATCH statement?, this is what I have so far: I have a simple web page that has a button which at the moment when pressed enables the user to add data to a DB table via a stored procedure.Once this button is pressed a pop up message box is displayed to let the user know the data has been passed. The user then needs to press the 'OK' button within this message box which then directs them to the home page of the site. This works fine.
The code for this is here:
Protected Sub btnAddRawData_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAddRawData.Click
'database conn, this is linked to the web config file .AppSettings
Using dbconnection As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("dbconnection"))
[code]....
As I don't want the user to enter duplicate records in the database (This could be done by the user navigating back to the page where the btnAddRawData_Click is located and pressing it again.), I have created a UNIQUE INDEX named 'DupRecords' to stop the user from commiting this data more than once that day.When I run the web page now I get the following message in my browser:
Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.GasRawData' with unique index 'DupRecords'.The statement has been terminated.The solution I think, is to add a TRY, CATCH statement into the btnAddRawData_Click code.
When trying to use Try/Catch in my code the INSERT statement does not work, but when I comment out the Try/Catch it works fine with no error. The section of my code is below:
