Return statement in try block

[Weiye Chen]

Refering below, will the code in finally block be executed even if a return is called in the try block?

void Somefunc()
{
try {
.
.
return;
}
catch(Exception) {
.
.
}
finally {
.
SomeCode();
}
}

It is. The purpose of a finally block is to guarantee that a piece of code will be run, regardless of what else happens in the try catch block. This gives you the ability to guarantee that cleanup code will be carried out.
