Compiler Error CS0157

Control cannot leave the body of a finally clause

All of the statements in a finally clause must execute. For more information, see Exceptions and Exception Handling.

The following sample generates CS0157:

C#
// CS0157.cs  
using System;  
namespace MyNamespace  
{  
   public class MyClass2 : Exception  
   {  
   }  
  
   public class MyClass  
   {  
      public static void Main()  
      {  
         try  
         {  
         }  
         finally  
         {  
            return;   // CS0157, cannot leave finally clause  
         }  
      }  
   }  
}
