>>>I am using VS .Net 2005 and I am trying to throw an ApplicationException() inside of my method and trap that error with a TRY/CATCH block. However, I can't get this to work. Below is my code.
>>>
>>>

>>>public void function1()
>>>{
>>>    try
>>>    {
>>>    	//This should trap error.
>>>        this.function2();
>>>    }
>>>    catch (ArgumentException ae)
>>>    {
>>>        MessageBox.Show("An error occurred! -> " + ae.Message);
>>>    }
>>>}
>>>
>>>public bool function2()
>>>{
>>>    string lc_value = "";
>>>    if (lc_value == "")
>>>    {
>>>        throw new ApplicationException("My Error occurred!");
>>>    }
>>>
>>>    //Continue normal operation.
>>>
>>>    return true;
>>>}
>>>

>>>
>>>I would expect that when the throw new ApplicationException() was triggered, that my CATCH block would gain control and display my custom error message. However, what actually happens is that a VS error dialog displays my custom message and my CATCH block is not called.
>>>
>>>How can I trigger a error and capture it with a TRY/CATCH block?
