When debugging, there is an object browser which shows all the properties and the inheritence structure of the object.
Try .... Catch ... Catch ... when ... Finally ... End TryThere can be any number of catch blocks. Use the when clause to control whether or not a catch is executed, such as when designing the app verses in a finished product.
In VB.net, entering
catch ex asproduces a list of possible exceptions
In VB 6, exceptions are identified by numbers, in VB.net, exceptions are identified by name.
Use throw ex to generate an exception.
Exceptions bubble up until they are handled. Those which aren't handled produce a generic "it failed" dialog box which allows the user to enter debug mode. (yikes!) Therefore, the top level of your code should always contain a generic Catch...Finally block even if it doesn't actually do anything with the error.
The exception handling routines provide a mechanism so that ALL ERRORS (or just selected errors) can be automatically sent to a web site. You can use this to report all unexpected errors, and, perhaps, to make your code better.
