Question

I try to rethrow an exception, but it’s not working.
I get ‘Exception was unhandled’ error in visual studio.

public KeyValueConfigurationCollection getMyAppSetting()
{
  Configuration config;
  ConfigurationFileMap configFile;
  try
  {
    configFile = new ConfigurationFileMap(ConfigurationManager.OpenMachineConfiguration().FilePath);
    config = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedMachineConfiguration(configFile);
    AppSettingsSection MyAppSettingSection = (AppSettingsSection)config.GetSection("xxx/appSettings");
    MyAppSettingSection.SectionInformation.AllowExeDefinition = ConfigurationAllowExeDefinition.MachineToRoamingUser;
    return MyAppSettingSection.Settings;
  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
    logger.Fatal("...");
    throw;
  }
}

This method belong to a class library, and i call it from a console application.
Please, help me.

Thanks.

It is working as expected.

You catch, then rethrow the exception – you are now not handling the rethrown exception. That’s why you are getting the error.
