Hi folks!

Having used Java for a while, I had gotten past the "oh no, more stuff to
write" par of having to explicitly declare which exceptions my methods
throw/don't handle.

In fact, I had gotten used to the comforts of this - almost like strong
typing - I *know* every handleable exception a component can throw - it is
in the method signature (THROWS clause).

But this is not possible in C#. Rumour has it that Anders didn't put it in
because it messes up versioning.

could someone explain why this is?

(He is also supposed to have said that if someone found a way around this -
it would get fixed, so anyone..? :))


Regards,

Inge
