[RESOLVED] [2008] Exception Handling

[agmorgan]

I have been forced into Java for my job for the last year or so and have been using Intellij IDEA as an IDE.
Coming back to VS I was a bit confused about the Exception Handling in VB.NET.

First question:
Does VB.NET have the ability to add Exceptions to methods?
e.g. in Java you could do this

public void readFile(String fileName) throws IOException {
...
...
}

Can you do this in VB.NET?
What should you do if you want to throw the exception up the stack?

Second Question:
In IDEA of I don't add the exception to the method at first, then add some code like this:

    public void ReadFile(String fileName) {

        BufferedReader reader = null;
        new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
      
}

the IDE tells me that an Exception could be thrown by this block and gives me the option to automatically fix it by surrounding it with a Try/Catch or by adding the exception to the method signature.

Does VS have these automatic detection/fixes?
