try to throw and catch.

[Kim Togo]

Was troubleshooting some code in C# and came across this: This is not the original code, but just to give an idea of what happens.

try
{
Console.WriteLine("enter try catch");
try
{
Console.WriteLine("enter try finally");
throw new Exception("try-finally exception");
Console.WriteLine("exit try finally");
}
finally
{
Console.WriteLine("finally called");
}
Console.WriteLine("exit try catch");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("exception: " + ex.Message);
}

Output is: enter try catch enter try finally finally called exception: try-finally exception The problem was that exit try catch was never called. I think the person that has written the code believed that a try-finally has implicit catch.
