Why not catch general Exceptions

Question

My VS just told me;

Warning 2 CA1031 : Microsoft.Design : Modify \'Program.Main(string[])\' to catch a more specific exception than \'Exception\' or r

Answer 1

When you catch general exceptions, you get the side effect of potentially hiding run-time problems from the user which, in turn, can complicate debugging. Also, by catching general exception, you're ignoring a problem (which you're probably throwing elsewhere).
