Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
Remarks
CodeCatchClause can be used to represent a catch exception block of a try/catch statement.
The CatchExceptionType property specifies the type of exception to catch. The LocalName property specifies a name for the variable representing the exception that has been caught. The Statements collection property contains the statements for the catch block.
Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example code demonstrates using CodeCatchClause objects to define exception handling clauses of a try...catch block.
[Visual Basic] ' Declares a type to contain a try...catch block. Dim type1 As New CodeTypeDeclaration("TryCatchTest") ' Defines a method that throws an exception of type System.ApplicationException. Dim method1 As New CodeMemberMethod() method1.Name = "ThrowApplicationException" method1.Statements.Add(New CodeThrowExceptionStatement( _ New CodeObjectCreateExpression("System.ApplicationException", New CodePrimitiveExpression("Test Application Exception")))) type1.Members.Add(method1) ' Defines a constructor that calls the ThrowApplicationException method from a try block. Dim constructor1 As New CodeConstructor() constructor1.Attributes = MemberAttributes.Public type1.Members.Add(constructor1) ' Defines a try statement that calls the ThrowApplicationException method. Dim try1 As New CodeTryCatchFinallyStatement() try1.TryStatements.Add(New CodeMethodInvokeExpression(New CodeThisReferenceExpression(), "ThrowApplicationException")) constructor1.Statements.Add(try1) ' Defines a catch clause for exceptions of type ApplicationException. Dim catch1 As New CodeCatchClause("ex", New CodeTypeReference("System.ApplicationException")) catch1.Statements.Add(New CodeCommentStatement("Handle any System.ApplicationException here.")) try1.CatchClauses.Add(catch1) ' Defines a catch clause for any remaining unhandled exception types. Dim catch2 As New CodeCatchClause("ex") catch2.Statements.Add(New CodeCommentStatement("Handle any other exception type here.")) try1.CatchClauses.Add(catch2) ' Defines a finally block by adding to the FinallyStatements collection. try1.FinallyStatements.Add(New CodeCommentStatement("Handle any finally block statements.")) ' A Visual Basic code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code: ' public class TryCatchTest ' { ' ' public TryCatchTest() ' { ' try ' { ' this.ThrowApplicationException(); ' } ' catch (System.ApplicationException ex) ' { ' // Handle any System.ApplicationException here. ' } ' catch (System.Exception ex) ' { ' // Handle any other exception type here. ' } ' finally { ' // Handle any finally block statements. ' } ' } ' ' private void ThrowApplicationException() ' { ' throw new System.ApplicationException("Test Application Exception"); ' } ' } [C#] // Declares a type to contain a try...catch block.

CodeConstructor constructor1 = new CodeConstructor(); constructor1.Attributes = MemberAttributes.Public; type1.Members.Add( constructor1 ); // Defines a try statement that calls the ThrowApplicationException method.

CodeCatchClause catch2 = new CodeCatchClause("ex"); catch2.Statements.Add( new CodeCommentStatement("Handle any other exception type here.") ); try1.CatchClauses.Add( catch2 ); // Defines a finally block by adding to the FinallyStatements collection. try1.FinallyStatements.Add( new CodeCommentStatement("Handle any finally block statements.") ); // A C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code: // public class TryCatchTest // { // // public TryCatchTest() // { // try // { // this.ThrowApplicationException(); // } // catch (System.ApplicationException ex) // { // // Handle any System.ApplicationException here. // } // catch (System.Exception ex) // { // // Handle any other exception type here. // } // finally { // // Handle any finally block statements. // } // } // // private void ThrowApplicationException() // { // throw new System.ApplicationException("Test Application Exception"); // } // } [C++] // Declares a type to contain a try...catch block.
