Catching Exception inside Using statement

Question

I know that Using statement disposes out the object that is being created. Like if I wanted to do something like this:

    Using(SqlConnection conn = new SqlConn         


        

Answer 1

using doesn't offer any backdoor into the catch.

Simply expand it manually (no point in having the try/catch inside the using IMO):

SqlConnection conn = null;

try
{
    conn = new SqlConnection("");
}
catch ...
{

}
finally
{
    if (conn != null)
        conn.Dispose();
}

I favour this over wrapping the using in a try-catch or embedding a try-catch in the using most of the time to avoid having the code end up with a nested try-catch once compiled. If you only need to cover a very small subset of a large piece of code within a using, however, I'd be more granular and embed it.
