Answer 1

Maybe try to keep your code simple such as putting the common code in a method, as you would do in any other part of the code that is not inside a catch clause?

E.g.:

try
{
    // ...
}
catch (FormatException)
{
    DoSomething();
}
catch (OverflowException)
{
    DoSomething();
}

// ...

private void DoSomething()
{
    // ...
}

Just how I would do it, trying to find the simple is beautiful pattern
