Question

I am iterating throu array and sometimes I have to check values that exceed the boundary. Of course it throws exception, but I don’t want to completly stop application after it, just skip this element of code.

Is something like this safe and won’t cause memory leaks?

try
{
    if (arrayName[i - 1, j].DoSomething())
         something++;
}
catch
{ // empty for purpose
}

It is much better practice to use an if-statement or the like, rather than swallowing exceptions.
