    I would say it's quite the opposite. A void function needs not go to the toilet as it can consume anything without return.

    But if a void function doesn't do some I/O what is it's purpose? What if the function of the function is voiding?

      Is a void function going to the toilet and expecting nothing in return?

      is it public?

      if(this.signature != "") { MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature); } else { MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found"); }

        Depends on whether you flush() before return?

                        I generally give my grandkids a treat (potty training), so in general not never, but specifically, yes.

                                  In this case I think the old VB On Error GoTo is preferable to a Catch block!

                                    Depends on whether you flush() before return?
