error handling

[Colonel Klink]

in vb handling errors is very simple... such as "on error resume next" or "on error goto blah .... blah: exit sub"

im real new to C# and was wondering on resources for error handling

also is there something like "on error resume next" or something like that in C#?

What do you think of try ..catch block or goto keyword .Check them out in the Help Files .

try...catch would be your best bet when attempting to handle errors in C#.

a quick example....

[COLOR=BLUE]private[/COLOR] [COLOR=BLUE]void[/COLOR] button1_Click([COLOR=BLUE]object[/COLOR] sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
        System.IO.StreamReader sReader;
[COLOR=BLUE]        try[/COLOR] [COLOR=GREEN]// try to open a file that doesn't exsist,to demonstrate the error handling.
[/COLOR]        {
        sReader=[COLOR=BLUE]new[/COLOR] System.IO.StreamReader([COLOR=BLUE]new[/COLOR] System.IO.FileStream("D:\\some fake path.txt",System.IO.FileMode.Open,System.IO.FileAccess.ReadWrite));
[COLOR=BLUE]        while[/COLOR](sReader.Peek()!=-1)
        {
            Console.Write(sReader.ReadLine());
        }
        }
[COLOR=BLUE]        catch[/COLOR](Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString(),[COLOR=BLUE]this[/COLOR].Name,MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Information); [COLOR=GREEN]// catch the error
[/COLOR]        }
}
