Question

My question is related to exception handling.

If i have for example three methods like this :

Private void Method1()
{
   //My code ...
}

---

Private void Method2()
{
   //My code ...
}

---

Private void Method3()
{
   //My code ...
}

---

And i call the three methods in the page load event like this :

void Page_Load()
{
  if(!Page.IsPostBack)
    {

       Method1();
       Method2();
       Method3();
    }
}

---

What is the best practice here for exception handling .
[Try and Catch] the exception for every method ,i mean in the method implementation.or just wrap the calling of the three methods with a single [Try-Catch] in the page load…

Answer 1

You should only try{}catch{} if you know how to recover from an exception.

In all cases, having a global/top try{}catch{}/error handler in order to log the errors is good practice.

In general, if you don’t know how to handle an exception, don’t catch it. Don’t swallow such exceptions either – try to close the application/thread as gracefully as possible.
