In C#, how does a try catch finally block work?
So if there is an exception, I know that it will jump to the catch block and then jump to the finally block.
Yes, the finally block gets run whether there is an exception or not.
Try
[ tryStatements ]
[ Exit Try ]
[ Catch [ exception [ As type ] ] [ When expression ]
[ catchStatements ]
[ Exit Try ] ]
[ Catch ... ]
[ Finally
[ finallyStatements ] ] --RUN ALWAYS
End Try
