Example

The following example demonstrates catching an exception type that derives from SystemException. There is, however, no valid scenario for catching a SystemException type.

using System;

namespace Samples
{
  public class SystemExceptionSample
  {
    public static void Main()
    {
      try
      {
        string s = null;
        Console.WriteLine(s.ToString());
      }
      catch(SystemException e)
      {
        Console.WriteLine("Exception: {0}", e);
      }
    }
  }
}

The output is

Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance 
of an object.
