TRY-CATCH USE

Posted by Dinesh on September 20, 2000 at 7:01 PM

I am confused that how to use try-catch best way.
Say I am using it in my one method.
Then I have options like.
1. Write whole function in one try-catch block.
2. Write many try-catch blocks and group few sentences.
3. Write one try catch block for whole code and use other try-catch in side of outer try-catch blocks. That is nested try-catch blocks.
And suppose I want to close my file before returning from function.
I can write close file statement in finally block.
But here again I have to write try-catch because close file throws exception.
How to deal with this?
Thank you very much in advance.
