Please anyone clear the difference between the following statements


cach(Exception e)
{
  throw e;
}


and


cach(Exception e)
{
  throw;
}

throw e basically destroys the call stack, while throw maintains it. throw essentially forwards the current exception.

Unless you want to erase previous stack trace and exception information, you should use throw instead of throw e.

Use throw e only when you're creating a new exception that optionally wraps the original e. E.g.

throw new YourOwnAppException("Something went terribly wrong", e);
