Is there a list of catch values that get thrown?

i think what you want to know is...

say you have a pile of code thats giving you hell. and you want to find out where its going bad, throw a try catch around it here is what its gonna look like:

try
{
the code thats messed up.....
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}

I'd like a list of errors. I think I am catching them right. My code looks similar to yours hoser2001.

I think what you want is is...

instead of:

ex.Message

you want:

ex.Stacktrace

This will give you a more detailed explanation of the errors if you will....

Hmmm...I suppose you want a general list of Exceptions? MSDN should have a list somewhere, though I don't know how well organized it is. Of course, if you're using libraries or such, they've probably defined their own exceptions as well.

Or, if you're asking for checked exceptions (what a particular function can throw), you're out of luck. .NET doesn't do checked exceptions, though Java does.

BTW, I normally just do ex.ToString() which will give both the message and the stack trace.

Edit: Exception Helper will parse the XML doc tags, and automatically insert catch blocks for you...it's VB2005 only, though.
