PREfast Warning 243 (Windows CE 5.0)
243 - Return from a finally-block halts global unwind.
Consequence: The exception will not be propagated.
This warning indicates that a return statement was detected in the handler of a try/finally statement.
A try/finally statement is intended to allow guaranteed cleanup, not exception handling, but returning from the finally block will handle an exception if one occurred.
Example
Defective Source

}
}
Corrected Source
int RetVal;

RetVal = 2;
}
}
return RetVal;
