Question

I would like to know if there is a way to let the program continue after an exception is thrown. For example:

Try
  line 1
  line 2
  line 3
  line 4 ' (here the exception is thrown and jumps to the catch)
  line 5 ' <-- I would like the program to continue its execution, logging the error
  line 6  

Catch ex as Exception
   log(ex.tostring)
End Try

Answer 1

If you’re doing something that you know how to recover from or that isn’t vital, you’re supposed to wrap just that line in the try/catch with a specific catch.
e.g.

Try 
  line 1
  line 2
  line 3
  Try
     line 4 ' (here the exception is throw and jumps to the catch)
  Catch iox as IOException ' or whatever type is being thrown
     'log it
  End Try
  line 5  ' <-- I would like the program to continue its execution after logging the error
  line 6  

Catch ex as Exception
   log(ex.tostring)
End Try
