Compiler Error CS1626

Cannot yield a value in the body of a try block with a catch clause

A yield statement is not allowed in a try block if there is a catch clause associated with the try block. To avoid this error, move the yield statement out of the try clause.

The following sample generates CS1626:

// CS1626.cs
using System.Collections;

class C : IEnumerable
{
   public IEnumerator GetEnumerator()
   {
      try
      {
         yield return this;  // CS1626
      }
      catch
      {
        
      }
   }
}

public class CMain
{
   public static void Main() { }
}
