Finally block in C#

Michell Johnson

Hi friends,

Would you like to tell me that All code inside Finally block is guaranteed to execute irrespective of whether an exception occurs in the Protected block or not?

I can't tell you that because it's not true.

Some exceptions are fatal and you won't even get to the catch block, let alone the finally block. Consider this program for example which generates a stack overflow exception:

using System;

class Program
{
Program prog = new Program();

static void Main()
{
try
{
Program prog2 = new Program();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
finally
{
Console.WriteLine("Within the finally block");
}

Console.ReadKey();
}
}
