Hello
I am pretty new to .NET programming. Everything I learned was from a few books.
I know what Exceptions are for but I am not sure when to use them and when NOT to use them.

Can someone explain to me as concisely as possible. A book can only explain so much.

Dear Exeption are the errors which are generated at run time. e.g a number divided by 0 generates an exeption . And some language support to handle these exeptions.It is called eception handling. And with this we can avoid the un natural temination of the program

I know what it is. But I need a better explanation.

Can someone tell what common mistakes of using Exceptions. Explain to me when not to use it.

Hey,

Sometimes the app will throw one based on syntax errors. Exceptions are raised when an error occurs within your data. For example, if a user enters bad data, you can throw an exception. You can make your own exceptions by creating a class that inherits from System.Exception.

Just like Err.Raise in VB, except you do THrow New <exception> to do it in .NET. Exceptions that aren't handled with try catch block are then visible in the browser/form.

Hope this helps,

Brian
