It's called poor programming, and one did not know what the abort
conditions
were out of the gate. It shouldn't happen that one doesn't know the abort
conditions and what to do on a try/catch, IMHO.

Catching all exception in the first place was poor programming at a higher
magnitude and if you don't catch all of them, your code is not anymore
equivallent to a finally block.


Like I said, one should know the conditions of a try/catch and the
excpetions that need to be caught or dealt with in the exception for a given
situation(s).

Just because there is a try/catch does that mean that a *finally* is needed.

The only time I have implemeted a try/catch/finally is on a SQL connection
using the USING statement to make sure the connection was checked to be
closed and close the connection if opened, because the solution was keeping
state while continiously doing background processing with a Windows Service
application as an example.

If the exception is in an ASP.Net solution, there is no need for a *finally*
as the application is not keeping state and is gone anyway.
