Brilliant exception handling I found in an app i had to work on
(media.kbin.social)
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Rethrowing caught exception in C# is just
throw;
, notthrow ex;
. This will delete old stack trace, which is very punishable if someone debugs your code later and you're still around.I am a somewhat new C# developer (2 years). Could you explain more about this?
throw ex;
treatsex
as a new exception, so, it starts a new stack trace for it from itself and deletes stack trace that was saved inex.StackTrace
. On the other hand,throw;
takes already present exception in the scope and throws it without modifying the stack trace, preserving the original method that threwex
in the stack trace.I feel like I wrote the same thing twice. I'm a bit bad with explaining stuff, feel free to ask more specific questions if you still don't understand the difference.
