Question

Im still in the mist of learning to program, very much lost in that mist actually. could someone help me please to implement this correctly, below is my code, bascially I have a method that takes in a value, tests that value within a switch.

Im jus very confused about how to catch the ArgumentOutOfRangeException correctly :S

    public string InTheBox(int x)
    {
        try
        {
            //switch statment to lookup log ID
            switch (x)
            {
                case 0:
                    return "Outter";
                case 1:
                    return "Inner";
                case 2:
                    return "Border";
                default:
                    throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("Unknown value");
            }
        }
        catch (ArgumentOutOfRangeException)
        {
            throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("Unknown value");
        }
    }

If someone could please explaing to me the cleanest way to catch these exceptions. Thank you!

Why do you have the try catch block at all? You can simply have

public string InTheBox(int x)
{
    //switch statment to lookup log ID
    switch (x)
    {
        case 0:
            return "Outter";
        case 1:
            return "Inner";
        case 2:
            return "Border";
        default:
            throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("Unknown value");
    }
}
