This article explains the exception handling scenario in .NET.

Objective


To handle errors in different scenarios.

Scenario 1: If the all the code lies in the same class there is no multilevel class functions.

Scenario 2: If the code lies in the different class there is multilevel class functions.


Using the code

Exception Handling Scenarios

**************************************************************************

Scenario 1: If the all the code lies in the same class there is no multilevel class functions.

//same code in class Program

//Program class

static int Test2()

        {

            int i = 0;

            int j = 0;

            try

            {

                j = i / i;

            }

            catch

            {

                throw ;

            }

            return j;

        }

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            try

            {

                Console.WriteLine(Program.Test2());

            }

            catch(Exception e)

            {

                Console.WriteLine(e.Message);

            }

            Console.Read();

        }

ERROR :

   at ConsoleApplication2.Program.Test2() in C:\Documents and Settings\m9jodu\Local Settings\Application Data\Temporary Projects\ConsoleApplication2\Program.cs:line 20

   at ConsoleApplication2.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Documents and Settings\m9jodu\Local Settings\Application Data\Temporary Projects\ConsoleApplication2\Program.cs:line 30

//same code in class Program

static int Test2()

        {

            int i = 0;   int j = 0;

            try    {

                j = i / i;

            }

            catch(Exception e)

       {

                throw e;

            }

            return j;

        }

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            try

            {

                Console.WriteLine(Program.Test2());

            }

            catch(Exception e)

            {

                Console.WriteLine(e.Message);

            }

            Console.Read();

        }

ERROR :

   at ConsoleApplication2.Program.Test2() in C:\Documents and Settings\m9jodu\Local Settings\Application Data\Temporary Projects\ConsoleApplication2\Program.cs:line 20

   at ConsoleApplication2.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Documents and Settings\m9jodu\Local Settings\Application Data\Temporary Projects\ConsoleApplication2\Program.cs:line 30

Conclusion:

If the code lies in the same class there is no difference the way we put the try…catch block. The caller method (Main in this case) must have below code.

            catch(Exception e)

            {

                Console.WriteLine(e.Message);

            }

 

**************************************************************************

 

Scenario 2: If the code lies in the different class there is multilevel class functions.

//Program class

static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            try

            {

                Console.WriteLine(Class1.TestTest());

            }

            catch(Exception e)

            {

                Console.WriteLine(e.Message);

            }

            Console.Read();

        }

 

//another class which has two functions

 class Class1

    {

      public static int TestTest()

        {

            try

            {

                return Class1.Test();// call the below function here

            }

            catch(Exception e)

            {

                throw e;

            }

   }

      public  static int Test()

        {

            int i = 0;

            int j = 0;

            try

            {

                j = i / i;

            }

            catch

            {

                throw;

            }

            return j;

        }

}

   at ConsoleApplication2.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Documents and Settings\m9jodu\Local Settings\Application Data\Temporary Projects\ConsoleApplication2\Program.cs:line 29

static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            try

            {

                Console.WriteLine(Class1.TestTest());

            }

            catch(Exception e)

            {

                Console.WriteLine(e.Message);

            }

            Console.Read();

        }

//another class

 class Class1

    {

public static int TestTest()

        {

            try

            {

                return Class1.Test();// call the below function here

            }

            catch

            {

                throw ;

            }

         

        }

      public  static int Test()

        {

            int i = 0;

            int j = 0;

            try

            {

                j = i / i;

            }

            catch

            {

                throw;

            }

            return j;

        }

}

   at ConsoleApplication2.Class1.TestTest() in C:\Documents and Settings\m9jodu\Local Settings\Application Data\Temporary Projects\ConsoleApplication2\Class1.cs:line 18

   at ConsoleApplication2.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Documents and Settings\m9jodu\Local Settings\Application Data\Temporary Projects\ConsoleApplication2\Program.cs:line 29

Conclusion:

If the code lies in the multilevel classes there is a difference the way we put the try…catch block. The caller method (Main in this case) must have below code as usual.

            catch(Exception e)

            {

                Console.WriteLine(e.Message);

            }

If we put do not put  catch(Exception e) in the lower levels functions. The Caller Function (Main Here) gives all the stack trace from where it is originated or else you will lose stack trace. The generated error propagates and bubble up to the caller function.

 catch

            {

                throw;

            }
