Exiting a Try block

[John Dann]

I want to use a block of code as follows:

Function..........
' Preliminary processes that acquire a value for X
Try
Select Case X
Case 1 etc

Case 2 etc

Case Else
Exit Function
End Select
Catch
Etc
End Try
End Function

But I'm not completely sure whether exiting the overall function in
the middle of the Try block is legal/robust. Can anyone reassure me
please?

Yes, that will work. Nevertheless, notice that a 'Finally' block will be
executed even if you jump outside the block.

Do it like this

Try

If True Then

Exit Try

End If

'Never Gets Executed

Catch ex As Exception

Exit Try

'Nor does this

End Try

ACK

U have to construct your code appropriately really
