Try-catch every line of code without individual try-catch blocks


I do not currently have this issue, but you never know, and thought experiments are always fun.

Ignoring the obvious problems that you would have to have with your architecture to even be attempting this, let's assume that you had some horribly-written code of someone else's design, and you needed to do a bunch of wide and varied operations in the same code block, e.g.:

WidgetMaker.SetAlignment(57);
contactForm["Title"] = txtTitle.Text;
Casserole.Season(true, false);
((RecordKeeper)Session["CasseroleTracker"]).Seasoned = true;

Multiplied by a hundred. Some of these might work, others might go badly wrong. What you need is the C# equivalent of "on error resume next", otherwise you're going to end up copying and pasting try-catches around the many lines of code.

How would you attempt to tackle this problem?


Solution

  • It's pretty obvious that you'd write the code in VB.NET, which actually does have On Error Resume Next, and export it in a DLL to C#. Anything else is just being a glutton for punishment.
