How do I handle specific exceptions in .NET?

How do I handle specific exceptions in .NET?

In .NET, you can handle specific exceptions using try-catch blocks. You can catch specific exceptions by specifying them in the catch clause.

Can you give me an example of catching a specific exception?

Sure! Here's an example:

try {
    // Code that may throw an exception
}
catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
    Console.WriteLine("File not found: " + ex.Message);
}
catch (Exception ex) {
    Console.WriteLine("An error occurred: " + ex.Message);
}

What if I want to log the exception details?

You can log the exception details by using a logging framework like NLog or log4net. Just replace the Console.WriteLine with your logging method.

Is it a good practice to catch general exceptions?

It's generally not recommended to catch general exceptions unless you have a specific reason. It can hide bugs and make debugging harder.
