Expression.TryCatch Method
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Creates a TryExpression representing a try block with any number of catch statements and neither a fault nor finally block.
Namespace: System.Linq.Expressions
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Function TryCatch ( _
body As Expression, _
ParamArray handlers As CatchBlock() _
) As TryExpression
public static TryExpression TryCatch(
Expression body,
params CatchBlock[] handlers
)
Parameters
- body
Type: System.Linq.Expressions.Expression
The body of the try block.
- handlers
Type: array<System.Linq.Expressions.CatchBlock[]
The array of zero or more CatchBlock expressions representing the catch statements to be associated with the try block.
Return Value
Type: System.Linq.Expressions.TryExpression
The created TryExpression.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to create a TryExpression object that contains a catch statement.
' Add the following directive to the file:
' Imports System.Linq.Expressions
' A TryExpression object that has a Catch statement.
' The return types of the Try block and all Catch blocks must be the same.
Dim tryCatchExpr As TryExpression =
Expression.TryCatch(
Expression.Block(
Expression.Throw(Expression.Constant(New DivideByZeroException())),
Expression.Constant("Try block")
),
Expression.Catch(
GetType(DivideByZeroException),
Expression.Constant("Catch block")
)
)
' The following statement first creates an expression tree,
' then compiles it, and then runs it.
' If the exception is caught,
' the result of the TryExpression is the last statement
' of the corresponding Catch statement.
outputBlock.Text &= Expression.Lambda(Of Func(Of String))(tryCatchExpr).Compile()() & vbCrLf
' This code example produces the following output:
'
' Catch block
// Add the following directive to the file:
// using System.Linq.Expressions;
// A TryExpression object that has a Catch statement.
// The return types of the Try block and all Catch blocks must be the same.
TryExpression tryCatchExpr =
Expression.TryCatch(
Expression.Block(
Expression.Throw(Expression.Constant(new DivideByZeroException())),
Expression.Constant("Try block")
),
Expression.Catch(
typeof(DivideByZeroException),
Expression.Constant("Catch block")
)
);
// The following statement first creates an expression tree,
// then compiles it, and then runs it.
// If the exception is caught,
// the result of the TryExpression is the last statement
// of the corresponding Catch statement.
outputBlock.Text += Expression.Lambda<Func<string>>(tryCatchExpr).Compile()() + "\n";
// This code example produces the following output:
//
// Catch block
