I've been thinking about this a lot recently. So much code I see catches an exception, logs it, then just carries on.

I'm subscribing more and more to the idea (in general) that if something exceptional has happened, the application is now in an unstable state and should be shut down until investigation has found out what went wrong. Obviously exceptions which we sort of expect we can handle with try/catch blocks but for now anyway, I'm avoiding all exception handling for anything else except at the AppDomain level which logs it, emails an alert and Environment.Exits.

I hate exceptions. In fact, I've just removed TcpListener/TcpClient from my vocabulary because they are too prone to throwing them. The other end disconnected - is that really that exceptional? I'd argue not. TcpClient.Connect - couldn't connect, that's because I have started the other end yet. Why is there no TryConnect??

It's interesting in interviews that they always ask about Exceptions - try/catch/finally - what happens to disposable objects etc. What they should ask is not how you do it, but when and why you should do it and how you are going to recover afterwards.

Well, if you ask me, that is.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.
