Question

If you have a method like this:

public int Foo()
{
    try
    {
        // ...
    }
    catch(Exception)
    {
        throw;
    }
}

Assuming the exception is caught in another place, is this better than just having the method without any exception handling? Or this, on the other side, causes any disadvantage?

Answer 1

No. This does nothing for you other than pass the exception through, which is the default behavior.

Personally, I think it’s a bad practice, as having a try/catch suggests that you’re doing some form of exception handling or going to do something with the exception.
