Exception handling in Linq queries

Question

I m using ...

tmpLst = (from e in App.lstAllChilds where e.Id == Id select e).ToList();

where lstAllChilds is the list, which contains some corrupted data as well.

So now i m tying to handle Try-Catch block inside this query.
Please help.

Here is the simplest change you can make to simply exclude items which are null or are raising an exception.

tmpLst = App.lstAllChilds.Where(e =>
{
    try
    {
        return e != null && e.Id == Id;
    }
    catch
    {
        return false;
    }
}).ToList();

But in my opinion you probably should investigate and solve the underlying problem. This doesn't seem like a scenario where exceptions should be expected.
