Re: Try .. Catch with no Exception needed.

It should be noted that if you catch an Exception (or just have a catch statement) that your application won't necessarily be "stable". In catching all exceptions (instead of just ones you know are going to be thrown) you are corrupting your application state to some degree, and if you aren't fastidious about defining the boundaries of your application, you will have unexpected errors because of exceptions that were thrown and ignored in other areas.

In other words, be very careful about proceeding in this manner. There are reasons that exceptions are thrown, and you should ignore them at your own peril.



For some reason an image of an old map popped into my head containing "Here there be dragons!" :)
