catch exception type c# code example

Example 1: c# try and catch

try
        {
            ProcessString(s);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("{0} Exception caught.", e);
        }
    }
}
/*
Output:
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
   at TryFinallyTest.Main() Exception caught.
 * */

Example 2: c# try

// ------------ How to use Try, Catch and Finally? --------------- //
// This is often used whenever you want to prevent your program from 
// crashing due to an incorrect input given by the user 


// --->  TRY 
// Where you put the part of your code that can cause problems

// --->  CATCH
// The parameter of this will indicate which "exception" was the 
// root of the problem. If you don't know the cause, then you can 
// make this general, with just: catch (Exception).

// --->  FINALLY
// This block of code will always run, regardless of whether 
// "try" or "catch" were trigger or not
