Try Catch Overkill

[pigeonrandle]

Hi,
Does this bit of code represent complete overkill?!

Try

'create a treenode
Dim tn as new TreeNode()
'add it to a treeview
tv.Nodes.Add(tn )
'do some other stuff

Catch ee As Exception 'something weird has happened

Try

'try to remove the treenode from the treeview
if tn.TreeView <Null Then tn.Remove()

Catch ee2 As Exception 'now things have got really dire

MessageBox.Show ("Would a function like TreeNode.Remove () ever cause

a random exception that i should worry about?")

End Try

End Try



What i basically mean is ... if this situation arises then someone has
probably poured a cup of coffee into the computer so i won't have to
worry about my software/data being 'recoverable', or will this sort of
*hilarious* thing never happen?

Explanations, musings and criticism all welcome,
James Randle.

Here, lately, I have had some glitches with Google Groups. I think
they're working on the new version which is in beta now. Here's the
link if you want to check it out:
