Question

Say you have a TRY block. I try to write to a file but the file doesn’t exist so it throws an exception.

try
{
     TryWritingToFile();          
}
catch (Exception)
{
     CreateFile();
     //now I want to go back and try to write to the file again. 
}

How do I go back to the beginning of the try block? Do I need to “re-try” in the catch block? Isn’t this repeating code?

Answer 1

bool ok = false; 

while(!ok)
{    
    try
    {
        TryWritingToFile();          
        ok = true; 
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        CreateFile();
        //now I want to go back and try to write to the file again. 
    }
}
