What is an exception error?
www.cst.ps/staff/mfarra


An exception is a problem that arises
during the execution of a program.

A C# exception is a response to an
exceptional situation that arises while a
program is running, such as an attempt to
divide by zero.

Exceptions provide a way to transfer
control from one part of a program to
another.

Exception handling

C# exception handling is built upon four
keywords:


try: A try block identifies a block of code for
which particular exceptions will be activated.
It's followed by one or more catch blocks.
catch: A program catches an exception with
an exception handler at the place in a
program where you want to handle the
problem. The catch keyword indicates the
catching of an exception.

C# exception handling is built upon four
keywords:

finally: The finally block is used to execute a
given set of statements, whether an exception
is thrown or not thrown.


For example, if you open a file, it must be closed
whether an exception is raised or not.
throw: A program throws an exception when
a problem shows up. This is done using a
throw keyword.

Syntax


Assuming a block will raise and exception,
a method catches an exception using a
combination of the try and catch keywords.

You can list down multiple catch
statements to catch different type of
exceptions in case your try block raises
more than one exception in different
situations.

Syntax

C# exceptions are represented by classes.
 The exception classes in C# are mainly
directly or indirectly derived from the
System.Exception class.
 Some of the exception classes derived
from the System.
 Exception class are the System.ApplicationException
and System.SystemException classes.


Syntax

The System.ApplicationException class
supports
exceptions
generated
by
application programs.
 So
the exceptions defined by the
programmers should derive from this
class.
 The System.SystemException class is
the base class for all predefined system
exception.

Example 1

1. class Program {
2.
public static void division(int num1, int num2)
3.
{
4.
float result=0.0f;
5.
try
6.
{
7.
result = num1 / num2;
8.
}
9.
catch (DivideByZeroException e)
10.
{
11.
Console.WriteLine("Exception Error !! \n divid by zero !!");
12.
// Console.WriteLine("Exception caught: {0}", e);
13.
}
14.
finally
15.
{
16.
Console.WriteLine("Result: {0} ", result);
17.
}
18.
}
19.
static void Main(string[] args)
20.
{
21.
division(10,0);
22.
Console.ReadLine();
23.
} }

catch (DivideByZeroException ex2)
{
//
…..
}
catch (FormatException ex1)
{
//……
}
14
Try
ex1.Message
Try
Exception only
Instead of
DivideByZeroException
Or
FormatException
Practice
www.cst.ps/staff/mfarra
www.facebook.com/mahmoudRfarra
Use
IndexOutOfRangeException
&
FormatException
&
Exception
15
User Defined Exception
www.cst.ps/staff/mfarra
www.facebook.com/mahmoudRfarra
Every user defined
exception must be
derived from
ApplicationException
ApplicationException
Every user
defined
exception
must be
defined as a
new class
New Exception
Class
16
User Defined Exception
www.cst.ps/staff/mfarra
www.facebook.com/mahmoudRfarra
using System;
namespace ExceptionHandling
{
class NegativeNumberException:ApplicationException
{
public NegativeNumberException(string message)
// show message
}
}
if(value<0)
throw new NegativeNumberException(" Use Only Positive numbers");
