No capturar los tipos de excepción general

Actualización: noviembre 2007

Motivo

System.Exception o System.SystemException se captura en una instrucción catch o se utiliza una cláusula catch general.

Descripción de la regla

No se deben capturar excepciones generales.

Cómo corregir infracciones

Para corregir una infracción de esta regla, captura una excepción más específica, o vuelva a producir una excepción general como la última instrucción del bloque catch.

Cuándo suprimir advertencias

No suprima las advertencias de esta regla. Capturar tipos de excepciones generales puede ocultar los problemas en tiempo de ejecución del usuario de la biblioteca y pueden dificultar la depuración.

Ejemplo

El ejemplo siguiente muestra un tipo que infringe esta regla y un tipo que implementa correctamente el bloque catch.

Imports System
Imports System.IO
