OutOfMemoryException

[Rei Miyasaka]

Just curious... has anyone ever bothered catching it?

[led mike]

Yes you can actually try to create an out of memory error so you can catch it. However in normal development practices it would more likely fall into a general catch(Exception).

Yes, it does not always signify what the name implies. Have a look at Image.FromFile() :)

If the file does not have a valid image format or if GDI+ does not support the pixel format of the file, this method throws an OutOfMemoryException exception. Uhh.... wow. Gotta love the WinForms team, total hack as always X|

Then publish your own own base class library that would be so much better than theirs, or shut the fuck up.

Wtf is your problem? There's a reason I don't use WinForms anymore, and it's because someone already did publish their own UI toolkit for .NET that's so much better, and it's called WPF.

My bad. Confused you with someone else with a similar CP name, I should have checked first. :-O

That's debatable. There's so much functionality missing and it's buggy.
