More Elegant Exception Handling Than Multiple Catch Blocks? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Unfortunately, C# does not have user exception filters like VB.NET, so you're limited to:

1. Catching a common ancestor to all exceptions. This may or may not be what you want, because there may be other descendant exception types that you do not want to catch.
2. Moving the exception handling logic into another method and calling that from each handler.
3. Repeating the exception logic for each handler.
4. Moving the exception handling logic into a language that supports filters, such as VB.NET.
