Exception filters give developers the ability to add a condition (in the form of a boolean expression) to a catch block, allowing the catch to execute only if the condition evaluates to true. Exception filters allow the propagation of debug information in the original exception, where as using an...

Code can and should throw exceptions in exceptional circumstances. Examples of this include: Attempting to read past the end of a stream Not having necessary permissions to access a file Attempting to perform an invalid operation, such as dividing by zero A timeout occurring when downloading a...

var numbers = new[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 }; var evenNumbersBetweenSixAndFourteen = new[] { 6, 8, 10, 12 }; var result = numbers.Except(evenNumbersBetweenSixAndFourteen); Console.WriteLine(string.Join(",", result)); //1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9

var numbers = new[] {2,4,6,8,1,3,5,7}; var numbersOrDefault = numbers.DefaultIfEmpty(); Console.WriteLine(numbers.SequenceEqual(numbersOrDefault)); //True var noNumbers = new int[0]; var noNumbersOrDefault = noNumbers.DefaultIfEmpty(); Console.WriteLine(noNumbersOrDefault.Count()); //1 C...

try { /* code that could throw an exception */ } catch (Exception ex) { /* handle the exception */ } Note that handling all exceptions with the same code is often not the best approach. This is commonly used when any inner exception handling routines fail, as a last resort.

try { /* code to open a file */ } catch (System.IO.FileNotFoundException) { /* code to handle the file being not found */ } catch (System.IO.UnauthorizedAccessException) { /* code to handle not being allowed access to the file */ } catch (System.IO.IOException) { /* cod...

You are allowed to create and throw exceptions in your own code. Instantiating an exception is done the same way that any other C# object. Exception ex = new Exception(); // constructor with an overload that takes a message string Exception ex = new Exception("Error message"); Yo...

When you want to catch an exception and do something, but you can't continue execution of the current block of code because of the exception, you may want to rethrow the exception to the next exception handler in the call stack. There are good ways and bad ways to do this. private static void AskTh...

var tasks = Enumerable.Range(1, 5).Select(n => new Task<int>(() => { Console.WriteLine("I'm task " + n); return n; })).ToArray(); foreach(var task in tasks) task.Start(); Task.WaitAll(tasks); foreach(var task in tasks) Console.WriteLine(task.Result); ...

var task1 = Task.Run(() => { Console.WriteLine("Task 1 code starting..."); throw new Exception("Oh no, exception from task 1!!"); }); var task2 = Task.Run(() => { Console.WriteLine("Task 2 code starting..."); throw new Exception("Oh ...

var task1 = Task.Run(() => { Console.WriteLine("Task 1 code starting..."); throw new Exception("Oh no, exception from task 1!!"); }); var task2 = Task.Run(() => { Console.WriteLine("Task 2 code starting..."); throw new Exception("Oh ...

To create an empty IEnumerable of int: IEnumerable<int> emptyList = Enumerable.Empty<int>(); This empty IEnumerable is cached for each Type T, so that: Enumerable.Empty<decimal>() == Enumerable.Empty<decimal>(); // This is True Enumerable.Empty<int>() == Enumerab...

The Except method returns the set of items which are contained in the first collection but are not contained in the second. The default IEqualityComparer is used to compare the items within the two sets. There is an overload which accepts an IEqualityComparer as an argument. Example: int[] first =...

Given an IObservable<Offer> of offers from merchants to buy or sell some type of item at a fixed price, we can match pairs of buyers and sellers as follows: var sellers = offers.Where(offer => offer.IsSell).Select(offer => offer.Merchant); var buyers = offers.Where(offer => offer.Is...

This code will subscribe to the emails observable twice: emails.Where(email => email.From == "John").Subscribe(email => Console.WriteLine("A")); emails.Where(email => email.From == "Mary").Subscribe(email => Console.WriteLine("B")); To share a...

An exception can be caught and handled using the try...catch statement. (In fact try statements take other forms, as described in other examples about try...catch...finally and try-with-resources.) Try-catch with one catch block The most simple form looks like this: try { doSomething(); } ...

The following example shows the basics of throwing an exception: public void checkNumber(int number) throws IllegalArgumentException { if (number < 0) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Number must be positive: " + number); } } The exception is thrown on the 3...

Under most circumstances, it is simpler from a code-design standpoint to use existing generic Exception classes when throwing exceptions. This is especially true if you only need the exception to carry a simple error message. In that case, RuntimeException is usually preferred, since it is not a che...

From the documentation: The exception that is thrown when an application attempts to perform a networking operation on its main thread. This is only thrown for applications targeting the Honeycomb SDK or higher. Applications targeting earlier SDK versions are allowed to do networking on their ma...

The ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown when a non-existing index of an array is being accessed. Arrays are zero-based indexed, so the index of the first element is 0 and the index of the last element is the array capacity minus 1 (i.e. array.length - 1). Therefore, any request for an array e...
