List of exceptions that CAN'T be caught in .NET

As is documented, try/catch blocks can’t handle StackOverflowException and OutOfMemoryException.

Are there any other Exceptions that also suffer from this limitation?

Answer 1

Jeffrey Richter made several good points on this topic in his book CLR via C#, part “Trading Reliability for Productivity”.

BTW, you can catch and handle OutOfMemmory:

For some reason that I can’t quite explain, this attention to detail is not done when writing
code for the .NET Framework. Getting an out-of-memory situation is always possible
and yet I almost never see any code containing a catch block to recover from an
OutOfMemoryException. In fact, I’ve even had some developers tell me that the CLR doesn’t
let a program catch an OutOfMemoryException. For the record, this is absolutely not true;
you can catch this exception. In fact, there are many errors that are possible when executing
managed code and I hardly ever see developers write code that attempts to recover from
these potential failures.
