exception handling in c#

Question

2.50/5 (2 votes)

See more:

When an unexpected exception occurs in your program , sometimes you just want to skip it since killing the program at that point is more harmful than continuing. Or you just want to continue since you were more interested in another error/bug.
Is there an option/compilerflag/secretswitch to enable this?
I understand exceptions should be resolved right away, but there are scenarios (like I described) where one just wants to skip it for the time-being.

Solution 2

Hi, see code below:

MIDL

string s = "horrible";
float f = float.Parse(s);
Application.DoEvents();

This would raise an exception on the second line. When you caught some exception like this in the debugger, you might just drag the execution pointer(a yellow right arrow icon ahead the excepted line in visual studio) to the next line or some other place you want.
Hope this helps.
