This isn't a runtime error (which try/catch work on) but an actual
compilation error...
If you change your code to:
int test = 0;
try {
int blob = 1/test;
} catch {
Response.Write("caught an exception");
}
you'll see the exception caught.
In other words, the Page_Load isn't actually getting executed, simply
compiled...and the compiler is thankfully letting you know there'll always
be an error with your code....always better to have compiler-time errors
than runtime exceptions.
