Chapter 17. Working with Errors and Exceptions

One of the realities of life when you're working with computers is that, no matter how careful you are, something is going to go wrong somewhere—and things will go wrong sufficiently often that it's important to recognize and prepare for the possibility. For this reason, it makes sense to provide Windows PowerShell with functionality to monitor and respond intelligently to error conditions. And that's what the Windows PowerShell team have done.

This chapter introduces the way Windows PowerShell treats errors and shows you how to retrieve information about errors and how you can change the way Windows PowerShell responds to errors and exceptions.
