More Elegant Exception Handling Than Multiple Catch Blocks? [duplicate]

Answer 1

If you need to write a really big ammount of code like this I would suggest checking some AOP framework. I personally use PostSharp. Then you could hide all exception handling code into aspects.

Answer 2

Is this way not good?

If you want to handle only one exception:

try
{
    // Many types of exceptions can be thrown
}
catch (TheExceptionIWantToHandle ex)
{
    // handle it
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    // suppress all other exceptions
}

If you want to handle all exceptions except one:

try
{
    // Many types of exceptions can be thrown
}
catch (TheExceptionIDoNotWantToHandle ex)
{
    // suppress all other exceptions
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    // handle it
}

good, not good?
