Why use Finally in Try ... Catch
.net, exception, try-catch-finally, vb.net
Solution
Yes, it is different. Finally will always run (barring program crash). If the function exits inside of the try catch block, or another error is thrown in either the try or the catch, the finally will still execute. You won't get that functionality not using the finally statement.
Problem
I see that the `Finally` in `Try .. Catch` will always execute after any parts of the execution of the try catch block. Is it any different to just skip the `Finally` section and just run it after, outside the try catch block? Example 1, Try ... Catch ... Finally ... End Try ``` Try 'Do something Catch ex As Exception 'Handle exception Finally 'Do cleanup End Try ``` Example 2, Try ... Catch ... End Try ... Do the finally stuff outside ``` Try 'Do something Catch ex As Exception 'Handle exception End Try 'Do cleanup ```
