Oops! Forgot a line of code!!!!! Sorry. This code example should
display my problem properly.

Why does the finally clause in the Test method (below) NOT execute in
my "foo" example, but DOES execute in my "bar" example?


'Test-Finally does NOT execute
Private Sub foo()
Test()
End Sub

'Test-Finally DOES execute
Private Sub bar()
Try
Test()
Catch ex As Exception

End Try
End Sub

Private Sub Test()

Dim x As Double

Try
x = 1 / 0

Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLine("Exception Block")
Throw ex

Finally
Console.WriteLine("Finally Block")

End Try

End Sub

Sorry, please ignore my post. I'll remove it shortly.

Well i just pasted this code in my dev environment ( VS.NET 2003
Enterprise ) and it does execute in bot both situations

so ..... ???????


Happy coding

Yeah, that was my mistake. Long story short, I was under the
impression that 1/0 generated an error in vb.net like it does in c#,
but it doesn't. I tested the code sample via c# not vb.net. My
mistake.

My goal is to raise an error in the try. In this case, a better
example would have been "throw new system.exception" instead of "x = 1
/ 0".

Under the hopefully guarenteed error being raised I then run into the
finally not be executed in both situations.

Thank you for responding.
