Return statements in catch blocks

Question

I have seen some developers use the return statement in a catch block. Why/when would this be a useful technique to employ?

Answer 1

There are occasions when you do not care about the exception thrown, only that the Try operation failed. An example would be the TryParse functions which in pseduo code look like:

try
{
   //attempt conversion
   return true;
}
catch
{
   return false;
}
