Catch block not catching exception

Question

I have a child form that is throwing an ApplicationException in the Load event handler (intentionally for testing purposes). The parent form wraps the ChildForm.Show() meth

Answer 1

I apologize for the C# (I don't know the Vb syntax)

are you doing something like this:

  ChildForm child = new ChildForm();
  try {
      child.Show();
  }
  catch(Exception ex)
  {.....}

If so, I believe the Load event would happen on the New, not the Show(); (Show would fire Activate)
