how to handle errors with a c# property setter?

Question

Hi, the below code returns an error in some cases, how can I rewrite it to handle the error and in that case return a default value instead.

The error I get on some machines is

System.ArgumentException: '1 is not a supported code page. Parameter name: codepage'

So in those cases then I would want to return a codepage of 437 instead of the 1 it is returning

 public System.Text.Encoding StandardOutputEncoding { get; set; } = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.OEMCodePage);

I normally program in VB so confused by C# syntax and not sure best way round this, so opens to learn. Thanks

Answer 1

Did you consider this too?

public System.Text.Encoding StandardOutputEncoding { get; set; } = GetEncoding( );

static System.Text.Encoding GetEncoding()
{
    try
    {
        return System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding( System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.OEMCodePage );
    }
    catch( ArgumentException )
    {
        return System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding( 437 );
    }
    catch( NotSupportedException )
    {
        return System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding( 437 );
    }
}

Think this might be what you are looking for.

public class Operations
{
    private string _name;

    public string Name
    {
        get => _name;
        set
        {
            if (!string.Equals(_name, value, StringComparison.Ordinal))
            {
                try
                {
                    _name = value;
                }
                catch (Exception)
                {

                    // decide what to do
                }
            }
            
        }
    }
}
