Answer 1

This is because in the case of any exception occurs,the exception will thrown to the catch, in that case the code will not return any value. so you have to return some value from the catch to avoid this issue

Replace the catch with this:

        catch
        {
            //error handling goes here
            UnhandledExceptionHandler();
            return new DataSet();
        }
