Exceptions and Exception Handling (C#)

Type of Entity:
C#

Abstract:
The C# language's exception handling features provide a way to deal with any unexpected or exceptional situations that arise while a program is running. Exception handling uses the try, catch, and finally keywords to attempt actions that may not succeed, to handle failures, and to clean up resources afterwards. Exceptions can be generated by the common language runtime (CLR), by third-party libraries, or by the application code using the throw keyword.
