Subject: RE: [DUG]: Is this ropey practice?
Hey Jeremy,
Check again - you missed the word EMPTY. ;-)
Structured exception handling (try..excepts, finally etc.) as found in
Delphi (and now the .NET languages) is what I would consider an essential
part of programming these days.
I will not use/allow the following structures:
try
DoSomething;
except
{Ignore all possible exceptions}
end;
or
try
DoSomething;
except
on Exception do; {Swallow any exception}
end;
Actually, I will ALWAYS check for a specific class of exception in an
exception handler.
E.g. I would do
try
DoSomething;
except
on Exception do begin
HandleException;
end;
end;
instead of
try
DoSomething;
except
HandleException; {This is a no-no for me too}
end;
Hope that clarifies things.
Cheers,
Conor

Conor. You OUTLAW try and except? is that right?
Thats kinda "Interesting"
How do you check a string that contains a date, IS a date?
i.e.
try
StrToDate(mytString)
except
Showmessage('opps that not a date')
end;
I know this is not a GREAT example but you get what I mean.
Are you saying that you write a long or complicated function ot
procedure to parse the string and work out if its a date at all?
If this is the casse, surly the above is the more effienct.
I am making some assumptions here obviously.
Jeremy
