VB.NET : Why doesn't FINALLY execute?

[Raymond Lesher]

Why does the finally clause in the Test method (below) NOT execute in
my "foo" example, but DOES execute in my "bar" example?
'Test-Finally does NOT execute
Private Sub foo()
Test()
End Sub

'Test-Finally DOES execute
Private Sub bar()
Try
Test()
Catch ex As Exception

End Try
End Sub

Private Sub Test()

Dim x As Double

Try
x = 1 / 0

Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLi ne("Exception Block")

Finally
Console.WriteLi ne("Finally Block")

End Try

End Sub

Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may
get a stray answer to VB.NET questions here, you should ask them in
newsgroups devoted exclusively to .NET programming. Look for newsgroups
with either the word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.

For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups...

microsoft.publi c.dotnet.genera l
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb
microsoft.publi c.vsnet.general

There are some others, but these should get you started.
