How to Automatically re-raise Exceptions

If you wrap a call to HttpResponse.End within a try catch block, the ThreadAbortException would automatically be re-raised. I assume this is the case even if you wrap the try catch block in a try catch block.

How can I accomplish the same thing? I do not have 开发者_运维问答a real-world application for this.

namespace Program
{
    class ReJoice
    {
        public void End() //This does not automatically re-raise the exception if caught.  
        {
            throw new Exception();
        }
    }
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                ReJoice x = new ReJoice();
                x.End();
            }
            catch (Exception e) {}
        }
    }
}

You can't change ordinary exceptions to have this behaviour. ThreadAbortException has special support for this that you can't implement yourself in C#.

ThreadAbortException is a special exception that can be caught, but it will automatically be raised again at the end of the catch block.

It's as simple as using the plain throw statement.

throw;

in the relevant catch block. Note that this is advantageous over doing throw e; because it preserves the call stack at the point of the exception.

Of course, this isn't automated in perhaps the sense you want, but unfortunately that is not possible. This is pretty much the best solution you'll get, and pretty simple still I think. ThreadAbortException is special in the CLR because it is almost inherent in thread management.

In the case of your program, you'd have something like:

namespace Program
{
    class ReJoice
    {
        public void End()
        {
            throw new Exception();
        }
    }

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                ReJoice x = new ReJoice();
                x.End();
            }
            catch (Exception e) 
            {
                throw;
            }
        }
    }
}

---

You mean like this?

namespace Program
{
    class ReJoice
    {
        public void End() //This does not automatically re-raise the exception if caught.  
        {
            throw new Exception();
        }
    }
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                ReJoice x = new ReJoice();
                x.End();
            }
            catch (Exception e) {
               throw e;
            }
        }
    }
}

Edit: It doesn't re-raise the exception because the meaning of "catch" is to handle the exception. It is up to you as the caller of x.End() what you want to do when an exception occurs. By catching the exception and doing nothing you are saying that you want to ignore the exception. Within the catch block you can display a message box, or log the error, kill the application entirely, or rethrow the error with additional information by wrapping the exception:

throw new Exception("New message", e);
