sqlConnection/Command using statement + try/catch block

c#, exception, sql, using-statement

Solution

From my point of view:

try
{
    using (SqlConnection connection = CreateSqlConnection(connString))
    {
               using (SqlCommand command = CreateSqlCommand()
               {
                   //open connection + execute command + do something else
               }
    }
}
catch
{
 //do something
}

Above is the correct way.

Because , with this approach if there is exception with connection to database, that will get caught inside catch block.. But with first approach, it will not.

Problem

What is a correct approach try/catch inside using or using inside try/catch? ``` using (SqlConnection connection = CreateSqlConnection(connString)) { using (SqlCommand command = CreateSqlCommand() { try{//open connection + execute command + do something else} catch{//do something} } } ``` vs. ``` try { using (SqlConnection connection = CreateSqlConnection(connString)) { using (SqlCommand command = CreateSqlCommand() { //open connection + execute command + do something else } } } catch { //do something } ```
