Will code in a Finally statement fire if I return a value in a Try block?

Consider the following code C# code. Does the “finally” block execute?

public void DoesThisExecute() {
   string ext = "xlsx";
   string message = string.Empty;
   try {
      switch (ext) {
         case "xls": message = "Great choice!"; break;
         case "csv": message = "Better choice!"; break;
         case "exe": message = "Do not try to break me!"; break;
         default:
            message = "You will not win!";
            return;
      }
   }
   catch (Exception) {
      // Handle an exception.
   }
   finally {
      MessageBox.Show(message);
   }
}

Ha, after I got done writing this, I realized I could have done tested this myself in Visual Studio. However, please feel free to answer!
