Question

I have this class :

public class TempFileRef
    {
        public readonly string FilePath;

        public TempFileRef(string filePath)
        {
            FilePath = filePath;
        }

        ~TempFileRef()
        {
            File.Delete(FilePath);    //<== what happens if exception ?
        }
    }

Question :

What happens if there is an Exception in the destructor ?

1) will it break the other finalization’s in the F-Queue ?

2) I i’ll wrap it with Try and Cache – I will NEVER know that there was an error

3) what should I do here ?

edit

The MSDN pattern for it based on "if I **forget** to call the Dispose method - so the GC will do it eventually.... it is better later then never...". So my question is specially about exception in the Finilize ( destructor)

Answer 1

From MSDN :

Exceptions that occur during destructor execution are worth special
mention. If an exception occurs during destructor execution, and that
exception is not caught, then the execution of that destructor is
terminated and the destructor of the base class (if any) is called. If
there is no base class (as in the case of the object type) or if there
is no base class destructor, then the exception is discarded.
