RE: Can this cause memory leak ?

No memory leak to worry about.

I will point out, it is inefficient and bad practice to catch exceptions
during the normal flow of your code. Adding a try/catch adds literally no
extra overhead but catching an exception is expensive, so your code should
only catch exceptions when an error is not normally expected.

Also, I always test for leaks (not just memory, handles, etc.) by opening
task manager and keeping an eye on mem usage, handles, threads, etc.

Mark.
