Method Exception information

[PGP]

Where will i look to find potential exceptions thrown by a method? I am
looking at Object Browser and couldnt find any, MSDN doesnt seem to provide
a consistent format for this either. Any advice would be appreciated.

There is no way to know that.

Hi,

Sorry, wrong key combination

As I said, there is no way to know that.

You could use reflector and try to see the method and see what exception the
method throw, but even so if the method use other methods these could also
throw exceptions (not catched by your method) that you will have to deal
with.

Which method, for example?
I was looking at XMLSerializer.Deserialize. I have a scenario where a class
loads internal data from a config xml and was wondering what exception to
catch if load fails.

I guess it's safe to catch the base Exception then.

Hi,

Yes, you can always catch Exception ,

I have to confess I do most of the times
