Writing an Error Handler Using try...catch...finally
It's very useful to have C# halt execution when an exception occurs. When the code is halted while running with the IDE, you receive an error message and you're shown the offending line of code. However, when your project is run as a compiled program, unhandled exceptions will cause the program to terminate (crash to the desktop). This is one of the most undesirable things an application can do. Fortunately, you can prevent exceptions from stopping code execution (and terminating compiled programs) by writing code specifically designed to deal with exceptions. Exception-handling code is used to instruct C# on how to deal with an exception, rather than relying on C#'s default behavior.
