Output from a for loop from a catch block

Question

Finally, performed in this case? I wrote this code and could not decide whether it was really executed in this case or not. I really like some explanations, whatever the answers.

foreach(string s in allStrings) { try { //Error happens here } catch(Exception ex) { //Handle exception break; } finally { //Clean up code } } 

Answer 1

You wrote 90% of the code you need to answer this question for yourself.

Keep writing.

Answer 2

Yes. Finally, blocks are always executed when control leaves the corresponding try or catch block. (Unless something super-special happens, such as a crash at runtime or a thread was interrupted.)

Answer 3

Effectively, finally, blocks are ALWAYS called. This is the reason they are named so ...

Answer 4

Based on Matt's answer. This is a complete bust.

I suggest doing something like this and making sure the test passes. MSTest is not the best library for testing, but it is a "Standard" :)

 [TestClass()] public class FinalClauseTester { private TestContext testContextInstance; public TestContext TestContext { get { return testContextInstance; } set { testContextInstance = value; } } [TestMethod] [DeploymentItem(@"Something right goes here.")] [DataSource("Something else goes here", "row", somethingOtherSetupCrap)] public void TestFinalClause() { string[] allStrings = {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5"}; int yesCount = 0; foreach(string s in allStrings) { try { //Error happens here throw new Exception(); } catch(Exception ex) { //Handle exception if (yesCount == 3) { break; } } finally { //Clean up code yesCount++; } } // And, at the end of this loop ... Debug.Assert(yesCount = 3); // Or something like this. } } 

Answer 5

Yes it is. Finally, blocks are always executed. See http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/exceptions/finally.html

Answer 6

Yes, he tries to try, and then he catches the catch of the exception, and then, finally, this is what is ultimately caused by both normal execution and the excluded exceptions. I think there is some kind of sharpness hiding somewhere!
