Re: Code Standard 2.0 new objects outside of Try Block

I do this too - set the variables to null.

Gabe,

Just assign null to the variables - this should stop those warnings. You
don't necessarily have to instantiate the objects.

I have question about code standards in VS 2005

I have been declaring objects before a try block in case I would ever
want to refer to them in 'Catch' block. When I converted my apps to 2.0
I get warnings that objects have been declared, but not initialized.
I've hesitated to actually 'New' an object outside of a try in the
event of an exception occurring. For example, if I new up a Connection
object with a connection string with an incorrect syntax it will throw
an InvalidArgument exception.

What's a best practice for this?

(I don't use Try Blocks in every method, but when I do, I want to make
sure that things are being trapped)

Thanks,

Gabe
