VB.NET

   OK, so we all know that we should include Exception Handling in our code and maybe most of the time we do.  If you don't do this as regularly as you should maybe it's because you've come up against the  'information overload' problem of .NET - i.e.  it's great, but there's just so darn much of it that you can't always see the wood for the trees.     

    With Exception Handling, one of the problems when you first get into this area is that there are just so many possible Exceptions you could check for  and deal with that you  don't always know which ones are relevant to the current code block.

   Enter the VB Exception Helper, courtesy of Bill McCarthy and friends.   You can use this small downloadable tool to analyse any code block in your VB.NET code and it will automatically insert a list of appropriate Exceptions, together with some useful information and descriptions.

   For a short demo of how to use it, follow this link.    To download a free copy from GotDotNet.com, check it out here.

 

  Nice job, guys!
