C# Exception is Unchecked???

[ChInKPoInt [No MCSD]]

I am using Visual Studio 2K3 writing a ASP.NET web application. Is there a
way to force the C# compiler to catch possible exception?

In Java, all exceptions thrown MUST BE caught, otherwise compiler would give
you error. In C#, is there a way to do that?

now you know why I don't use Java.

No, C# will not FORCE you to catch your errors. That's up to you to do, and
it makes sense. You don't always want to catch every error locally. While
it is good practice, it should not be an absolute requirement.

It's not in Java. You don't have to catch every exception (or even
checked exception) locally - you just have to declare which checked
exceptions you can throw.

I believe that checked exceptions of some kind are a good idea; I'm not
sure that Java got it right, and C#/.NET didn't get it right by getting
rid of them entirely. Java feels slightly cumbersome because of them,
and C# sometimes feels like driving without a seatbelt due to the lack
of them. The first language/platform which gets exception handling
really "right" will be interesting...

Nope C# doesn't support checked exceptions. Heres a transcript of Bruce Eckle and Anders Hejlsberg discussing why they are not in C#.
