Edit Question
Title
Body
I have searched for an answer to my question but not been able to find one. Apologies if the answer is there and I am duplicating! I keep seeing try/catch code such as..... try { //Do whatever } catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show("Oops, something went wrong!"); } Which will result in a warning ex is never used. So my question is... Although ex is never used is there any benefit in the declaration? I was told that maybe it adds detail to the stack trace? Sometimes I see catch(Exception) which stops the warning but what benefits does this bring, if any? If I was to write this and not use the exception in any way I wouldn't declare ex... try { //Do whatever } catch { MessageBox.Show("Oops, something went wrong!"); } Not a big problem but it would be good to know for sure! Thanks Fred
