Try Catch Finally , pointers and Vb.net 2005 compiler warnings

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,
The compiler gives Warning 96 Variable 'cmdSource' is used before it has
been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime.

Dim cmdSource as SQlClient.SQLDataReader
Try
Set up the database read and do it.
Catch ex as system.exception
exception stuff here
Finally
cmdSource.close()
End try

Can't see a way out of this (Assuming a desire to explicity close in the
finally)
If you Dim inside the try statement you go out of scope in the finally.

Is there a tidy way to get rid of these warnings? My (was Vb.net 2003) Data
acccess class is now littered with them.
Thanks
Bob
