Best practices for catching and re-throwing .NET exceptions

Question

What are the best practices to consider when catching exceptions and re-throwing them? I want to make sure that the Exception object\'s InnerException

Answer 1

I would definitely use:

try
{
    //some code
}
catch
{
    //you should totally do something here, but feel free to rethrow
    //if you need to send the exception up the stack.
    throw;
}

That will preserve your stack.
