Try...Catch Problem

[rover_boy]

Can anyone help me on a try catch block? Not quite sure on the catch block. I want it to display a message box if the error the path in the try block does not exist. try { System::Diagnostics::Process::Start("C:\\client\\debug\\client.exe"); } catch(char *ex) { MessageBox::Show ("Not able to connect to PANGU server!", "PANGU Server Error!"); } finally { }

Take a look at what exceptions the System::Diagnostics::Process::Start() method can throw. Ripped right from the docs...

try
{
System::Diagnostics::Process::Start("C:\\client\\debug\\client.exe");
}
catch ( System::ComponentModel::Win32Exception^ w )
{
Console::WriteLine( w->Message );
Console::WriteLine( w->ErrorCode );
Console::WriteLine( w->NativeErrorCode );
Console::WriteLine( w->StackTrace );
Console::WriteLine( w->Source );
Exception^ e = w->GetBaseException();
Console::WriteLine( e->Message );
}

On my test, w->Message == "The system cannot find the file specified". Mark

You must ask your question on the correct forum Managed C++/CLI[^].
