You can include several catch blocks in a single try-catch statement, each catch block set up to catch a different kind of exception.

| try{ DoSomething(5);}catch (FileNotFoundException noFileExc){ Console.WriteLine(string.Format("File Not Found: {0}", noFileExc.FileName));}catch (ArgumentOutOfRangeException argExc){ Console.WriteLine("Your arguments were not within valid ranges");}catch (Exception exc){ Console.WriteLine("Crap!"); Console.WriteLine(exc.Message);} |
If an exception originates within the the scope of the try block and if the exception is not caught at a lower level, it will bubble up to the code containing this try-catch statement. The type of the exception object will then be compared to the exception types specified in the catch blocks, starting with the first block. If a matching type is found, the code in that catch block will execute and the exception will not propagate further up the call stack.
