What’s the C# equivalent of C++

Question

Hi..... Ques: What's the C# equivalent of C++ catch (…), which was a catch-all statement for any possible exception?

Sam Hobbs · Answer

In C++ the standard does not provide a way for a program to get any details of the exception when the ellipsis is used to catch all errors. Yes, a (1) catch all is better than (2) catching specific errors without a catch all but (3) catching specific errors followed by a catch all is best.

There are times when a catch all is better than testing for a specific exception type where you may end up with access violations or other catastrophic failures that may not be anticipated.

No change to try/catch in C++11 (as it's now called) AFAICS :(

Also, as Mamta said in your previous thread, it is better to provide an instance of the Exception class for the C# catch statement. This makes the C# way better than the C++ way since in C++ (catch with an ellipsis) there is no way of determining what the exception is. Hopefully that is improved in the latest C++ language standard; I have not looked.

This question was answered perfectly by Mamta, when you asked it before.
