Best use of exception handling
-
here is another gem by my colleague. I believe he was drunk when he wrote this as I don't think he would do this in senses.
Page executingPage = null;
try
{
executingPage = HttpContext.Current.Handler as Page;
}
catch(InvalidCastException ex)
{
executingPage = HttpContext.Current.Handler as Page;
}**

If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try throw, throw, throw again. Or something like that. :)

:doh: :sigh: :(( In that order.

I know that there are a number of programers that don't understand proper Exception Handling, but this one is really bad. Maybe he was thinking that he should retry? Even then it is not done properly. :sigh:
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.
:laugh: yeahhh.. it won't go in catch block ever.

I have an improved version:
Page executingPage = null;
while (true)
{
try
{
executingPage = HttpContext.Current.Handler as Page;
break;
}
catch (InvalidCastException ex)
{
continue;
}
};P :~

Yep, this should work MUCH better

I once fixed something similar that was coded by a newbie, it went something like this: private void HandleException(Exception ex) { try { ... Code to handle exception that would always throw an exception ... Can't recall exactly what it was since it was 3 years ago } catch (Exception ex) { HandleException(ex); } } The function would recursively call itself and cause a stack overflow exception.
