Best Practice for Exception Handling in a Windows Forms Application?

Question

Answer 1

n my experience I've seen fit to catch exceptions when I know I'm going to be creating them. For instances when I'm in a web application and I'm doing a Response.Redirect, I know I'll be getting a System.ThreadAbortException. Since it's intentional I just have a catch for the specific type and just swallow it.

try
{
/*Doing stuff that may cause an exception*/
Response.Redirect("http:\\www.somewhereelse.com");
}
catch (ThreadAbortException tex){/*Ignore*/}
catch (Exception ex){/*HandleException*/}
