Hello,

Is there an option to return value in finally section?

Unfortunately, C# doesn't allow you to return a value from a finally block.
Doing so will result in the compiler error "Control cannot leave the body of
a finally clause" (CS0157).

Depending on what exactly you want to achieve, there might be different
solutions to your problem, such as rearranging code or using nested
try-finally clauses. Would you care to tell us more about the difficulty you
are having?

Thanks!

If you declare your object / value before the try block, it will be available
to populate / modify in the try, in the catch, and in the finally block. At
the end of your method, you can return the object, whatever it happens to be.

If you want to put the return in finally. It will be the same if you put the
return in both try and catch block.

fundamentally, this is a very, very bad idea. It means that you can
effectively subvert the finally mechanism which is not what the framers
intended. You should consider a design review.
