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

As other answers have stated, just add a normal try/catch.

However, I would add that this is the wrong place to put that try/catch, especially if your goal is "show the users" a message. Let the exception happen at this level, and allow it to bubble up the stack to code that's in a better position to know how to respond to it.

In other words, leave your code sample as it is. Don't add anything new... to that method. But perhaps the code that calls this method should be thinking about how to handle an exception ... any exception... from the database.
