Which to catch first?

I've got a C++/CLI winforms app that calls web services. I am trying to wrap
my calls the WS in a try/catch block and need to catch the following two
exceptions:

System.Net.WebE xception
Thrown when no connection to internet on client computer.

System.Web.Serv ices.Protocols. SoapException
Thrown when WS server's SqlServer is unavailable (WS returns data from the
SqlServer).

I would like to know which one I should catch first?

It makes no difference. Neither is derived from the other, so the order of
catches will have no effect on the meaning of the code.

Hi there! I am developing an Windows Explorer-like application that will tell you the size of any folder. But so far I have come across some problems. For instance, you may not have access to all folders in NTFS drives, or a floppy disk may not be in the drive when I access it. The question is, how can I check in a Try Catch statement the precise error that was returned? Isn't there an error number? I could check the ex.Message but I...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
