Try Catch - at least it won't break

[RCoate]

Just found this piece of quality in our production code.

    try
    {
        Class1.NullableInt1 = int.Parse(txtSomeUserInput.Text);
    }
    catch
    {
        Class1.NullableInt1 = null;
    }
    ...
    //repeat for each nullable int in the class.

NB: Class, property and input names changed to protect the inocent. And people here wonder why our web forms can take 1 minute or more to post back!

Sadly, the sucker never heard of the Convert class...

((λ (x) `(,x ',x)) '(λ (x) `(,x ',x)))

or TryParse ...

Seeing far too much code like that is what made me choose my signature line.

Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.
