3.1. Handling Exceptions

Recall that Step by Step 2.5 in Chapter 2 demonstrates the use of common dialog boxes through the creation of a simple rich text editor. This editor allows you to open and save a rich text file. You can also edit the text and change its fonts and colors. The program works fine in all cases except when you try to open or save a file that is already open; in that case, the program throws a System.IO.IOException exception.

The objective of this exercise is to make a robust version of this program that generates a warning about the open file rather than abruptly terminating the program.
