Cant catch an exception

Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this question.

Could anyone explain why this exception code is not working?

The exception is thrown, but then reported as unhandled. The try catch in
Main seems to be being ignored???

The exception being reported is a generic System.Exceptio n, nothing exotic.

This is only an illustration by the way :)

public class A
{
Public void Bla()
{
if (something) { throw new Exception(“An Error”); }
}
}

public class B
{
static void Main()
{
// A collection of A's exists
foreach (A item in ACollection)
{
try
{
item.Bla();
}
catch
{
MessageBox.Show (“Caught”);
}
}
}
}

Any help much appreciated.

Hi all. I've got an question about how to catch an exception. In Page_Load, I place a DataGrid, dg1, into edit mode. This will call the method called GenericGridEvent. GenericGridEvent will call a mehtod called ExceptionGenerator that will generate a run-time exception. The exception is caught in GenericGridEvent, but it isn't caught in InitializeComponenet (which doens't suprise me). I can't figure out where to catch an error that may...

Another wish of mine. I wish there was a way in the Try Catch structure to say if there wasn't an error to do something. Like an else statement. Try Catch Else Finally. Also because I understand Finally runs whether an error was caught or not, I haven't found a use for finally yet.
