How to handle UnauthorizedAccessException from User Code

Question

In a Windows Application I have, I am doing some changes in registry like deleting a particular key, in some test scenarios like in a Vista machine with its UAC put on, I'm getting System.UnauthorizedAccessException. My code would look something like this:

try
{
    //delete registry keys
}
catch (UnauthorizedAccessException ex)
{
    //handling
}
catch (Exception genEx)
{
    //handling
}

But the application would still go crashing., not being handled by the catch block. Is there some way I could handle it?

Answer 1

You're probably throwing another exception from the catch block. Try commenting all lines in the catch block and it should work just fine.
