Auto-generate a try catch block in visual studio 2010


Anyone know if there is a keystroke shortcut or option to autogenerate a try/catch block around a statement in Visual Studio 2010? I can see what exceptions are thrown if I look at the overlay documentation when I hover over a statement. I'd like to right click -> generate try/catch, as it would save a lot of time in handling all possible cases.

Is this possible?
