But what to try?

[Marc Clifton]

As found in some VB code:

Try
Catch ex As Exception
End Try

I may be posting a lot of these things here, as I finally got hold of the VB code that was for the previous system, that we're re-writing in C#. It's bound to be full of gems like this. Marc

I have seen that kind of code fail. Don't ask how, as I don't know.

You mean there was no code at all between Try and Catch, nor between Catch and End Try? At least, he ought to have added an empty Finally then.

That is correct. I did not remove any code. It was a completely empty try-catch block. Marc

Leaving the try...catch block empty was intentional. There exists a form with a textbox in which you can type code to be inserted in the try...catch block at runtime.

Then it's too bad the optimizer will remove it. :sigh:
