Examples

The following example code demonstrates using CodeCatchClause objects to define exception handling clauses of a try...catch block.

// Declares a type to contain a try...catch block.
CodeTypeDeclaration^ type1 = gcnew CodeTypeDeclaration( "TryCatchTest" );

// Defines a method that throws an exception of type System.ApplicationException.
CodeMemberMethod^ method1 = gcnew CodeMemberMethod;
method1->Name = "ThrowApplicationException";
array<CodePrimitiveExpression^>^temp = {gcnew CodePrimitiveExpression( "Test Application Exception" )};
method1->Statements->Add( gcnew CodeThrowExceptionStatement( gcnew CodeObjectCreateExpression( "System.ApplicationException",temp ) ) );
type1->Members->Add( method1 );

// Defines a constructor that calls the ThrowApplicationException method from a try block.
CodeConstructor^ constructor1 = gcnew CodeConstructor;
constructor1->Attributes = MemberAttributes::Public;
type1->Members->Add( constructor1 );

// Defines a try statement that calls the ThrowApplicationException method.
CodeTryCatchFinallyStatement^ try1 = gcnew CodeTryCatchFinallyStatement;
try1->TryStatements->Add( gcnew CodeMethodInvokeExpression( gcnew CodeThisReferenceExpression,"ThrowApplicationException", nullptr ) );
constructor1->Statements->Add( try1 );

// Defines a catch clause for exceptions of type ApplicationException.
CodeCatchClause^ catch1 = gcnew CodeCatchClause( "ex",gcnew CodeTypeReference( "System.ApplicationException" ) );
catch1->Statements->Add( gcnew CodeCommentStatement( "Handle any System.ApplicationException here." ) );
try1->CatchClauses->Add( catch1 );

// Defines a catch clause for any remaining unhandled exception types.
CodeCatchClause^ catch2 = gcnew CodeCatchClause( "ex" );
catch2->Statements->Add( gcnew CodeCommentStatement( "Handle any other exception type here." ) );
try1->CatchClauses->Add( catch2 );

// Defines a finally block by adding to the FinallyStatements collection.
try1->FinallyStatements->Add( gcnew CodeCommentStatement( "Handle any finally block statements." ) );

// A C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:
//    public class TryCatchTest 
//    {
//        
//        public TryCatchTest()

//            {

//            }
//          finally {

//        {
//            throw new System.ApplicationException("Test Application Exception");
//        }
//    }

// Declares a type to contain a try...catch block.
CodeTypeDeclaration type1 = new CodeTypeDeclaration("TryCatchTest");

// Defines a method that throws an exception of type System.ApplicationException.
CodeMemberMethod method1 = new CodeMemberMethod();
method1.Name = "ThrowApplicationException";

    new CodeObjectCreateExpression("System.ApplicationException", new CodePrimitiveExpression("Test Application Exception")) ) );
type1.Members.Add( method1 );

// Defines a constructor that calls the ThrowApplicationException method from a try block.
CodeConstructor constructor1 = new CodeConstructor();
constructor1.Attributes = MemberAttributes.Public;

// Defines a try statement that calls the ThrowApplicationException method.
CodeTryCatchFinallyStatement try1 = new CodeTryCatchFinallyStatement();
try1.TryStatements.Add( new CodeMethodInvokeExpression( new CodeThisReferenceExpression(), "ThrowApplicationException" ) );
constructor1.Statements.Add( try1 );

// Defines a catch clause for exceptions of type ApplicationException.
CodeCatchClause catch1 = new CodeCatchClause("ex", new CodeTypeReference("System.ApplicationException"));
catch1.Statements.Add( new CodeCommentStatement("Handle any System.ApplicationException here.") );
try1.CatchClauses.Add( catch1 );

// Defines a catch clause for any remaining unhandled exception types.
CodeCatchClause catch2 = new CodeCatchClause("ex");
catch2.Statements.Add( new CodeCommentStatement("Handle any other exception type here.") );
try1.CatchClauses.Add( catch2 );

// Defines a finally block by adding to the FinallyStatements collection.
try1.FinallyStatements.Add( new CodeCommentStatement("Handle any finally block statements.") );

Remarks

CodeCatchClause can be used to represent a catch exception block of a try/catch statement.

The CatchExceptionType property specifies the type of exception to catch. The LocalName property specifies a name for the variable representing the exception that has been caught. The Statements collection property contains the statements for the catch block.

Constructors

CodeCatchClause()	Initializes a new instance of the CodeCatchClause class.
CodeCatchClause(String, CodeTypeReference, CodeStatement[])	Initializes a new instance of the CodeCatchClause class using the specified local variable name for the exception, exception type and statement collection.
CodeCatchClause(String, CodeTypeReference)	Initializes a new instance of the CodeCatchClause class using the specified local variable name for the exception and exception type.
CodeCatchClause(String)	Initializes a new instance of the CodeCatchClause class using the specified local variable name for the exception.

Properties

CatchExceptionType	Gets or sets the type of the exception to handle with the catch block.
LocalName	Gets or sets the variable name of the exception that the catch clause handles.
Statements	Gets the statements within the catch block.

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
