[C#] Is it possible to implicitly wrap each line in a try/catch block?

[Logan1337]

Hi all. I have a method involving several statements, none of which are dependent on any other. Basically I am simply setting a bunch of properties, one after the other, and want to essentially ignore exceptions on a per-line basis throughout this block. In other words, if an exception occurs, I only want that line to be skipped and execution continue on the next, just as if I had this:

void method() {
    try { NonCriticalOperation(); } catch { }
    try { NonCriticalOperation(); } catch { }
    try { NonCriticalOperation(); } catch { }
    try { NonCriticalOperation(); } catch { }
    try { NonCriticalOperation(); } catch { }
}

...but without having to write a million try/catch statements.

Anyone know of an attribute or keyword that can do this?

I have no clue about that.
But if you can write custom snippets it will help (or try editing the try snippet and save it as a new one)

I don't believe it's possible...UNLE SS you can manage to do something like a loop for property setting

Psuedo:

foreach(property myprop in PropertiesToSet)
{
   try
   {
      SomeFunctionToSetProperty(myprop);
   }
   catch(Exception e)
   {
      //ignore errors
   }
}

Why Doesnt C# Have Exception Specifications?


On a side note, its generally bad practice to just ignore exceptions. Granted, there are times when its warranted, but I would seriously consider if there was another way to go about it.
