Question

I would like to test some exception handling logic in the empty catch block of the below code.

try
{
    //Do Some stuff that throws a exception 
    //This is the code i need
}
catch (Exception)
{
    //Handle things that inherits from Exception
}
catch
{
    //Handle things that dont inherits from Exception
    //Want to test this code
}

Starting with CLR 2.0 this is not a scenario that you need to worry about. The CLR will now automatically wrap all exceptions which do not derive from System.Exception with a new Exception of type RuntimeWrappedException (Documentation).

This wrapping can be disabled by enabling a level of application compatibility but it is certainly not the normal or common case
