If at first you don't succeed, try/catch it again

I came across this gem today when I was rolling out an upgrade for one of our legacy web sites.

try {
if(Request.QueryString.Get("skin").Length > 0)
	sSkinCode = Request.QueryString.Get("skin");
else
	
	sSkinCode = GetSiteName();<
}
catch {
	sSkinCode = GetSiteName();
}

Can anyone see what is wrong with this? Wanna guess where my code is failing? Hope there is no exceptions thrown in GetSiteName().

Doh!

Till next time,

duh!!!... of course you needed another try..catch in the catch{} =oP

...your code renders fine in the RSS (google reader) but not good in the actual site (FireFox)

Hi, Derik.

I've seen that kind of code before too. And also something like this (is practically a "pattern"):

try{

// Do something

}catch{

throw;

}

Eduardo Costa. :)
