  How to VB.NET Exceptions

Exceptions are the occurrence of some condition that changes the normal flow of execution . For ex: you programme run out of memory , file does not exist in the given path , network connections are dropped etc. More specifically for better understanding , we can say it as Runtime Errors .

In .NET languages , Structured Exceptions handling is a fundamental part of Common Language Runtime . It has a number of advantages over the On Error statements provided in previous versions of Visual Basic . All exceptions in the Common Language Runtime are derived from a single base class , also you can create your own custom Exception classes. You can create an Exception class that inherits from Exception class .

You can handle Exceptions using Try..Catch statement .

  Try
	code
	exit from Try
  Catch [Exception [As Type]]
	code - if the exception occurred this code will execute

exit from Catch

Finally

The code in the finally block will execute even if there is no Exceptions. That means if you write a finally block , the code should execute after the execution of try block or catch block.

  Try
	code
	exit from Try
  Catch [Exception [As Type]]
	code - if the exception occurred this code will execute
	exit Catch
  Finally

code - this code should execute , if exception occurred or not

From the following VB.NET code , you can understand how to use try..catch statements. Here we are going to divide a number by zero .

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Try
            Dim i As Integer
            Dim resultValue As Integer
            i = 100
            resultValue = i / 0
            MsgBox("The result is " & resultValue)
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox("Exception catch here ..")
        Finally
            MsgBox("Finally block executed ")
        End Try
    End Sub
End Class

When you execute this program you will "Exception catch here .." first and then "Finally block executed " . That is when you execute this code , an exception happen and it will go to catch block and then it will go to finally block.
