Section A.3. Understanding Exception Classes
SUMMARY
This appendix provided a working introduction to structured exception and error handling in .NET. We discussed various exception-related classes that are provided by the .NET Framework. We also discussed how error handling works in .NET and how to use try..catch blocks. In addition, we discussed the Exception class and its members, as well as other exception-related classes.
