Can I not catch a specific or custom exception?

Question

I dont want to catch some exception. Can I do it somehow?

Can I say something like this:

catch (Exception e BUT not CustomExceptionA)
{
}

After being schooled by @Servy in the comments, I thought of a solution that'll let you do [what I think] you want to do. Let's create a method IgnoreExceptionsFor() that looks like this:

public void PreventExceptionsFor(Action actionToRun())
{
    try
    {
         actionToRun();
    }
    catch
    {}
}

This can then be called like this:

try
{
     //lots of other stuff
     PreventExceptionsFor(() => MethodThatCausesTheExceptionYouWantToIgnore());
     //other stuff
}
catch(Exception e)
{
    //do whatever
}

That way, every line except for the one with PreventExceptionsFor() will throw exceptions normally, while the one inside PreventExceptionsFor() will get quietly passed over.
