Revision Question(testing use of Functions,textbox,lable)

 Write a function procedure that computes the


area of a rectangle.

 Write a procedure that makes use of the function


above to calculate the area of a rectangle. Let
the user input length and width of the rectangle
through textboxes and output the result (Area)
through a label.
Revision Question
 Write code to implement the following array
 Declare an array of 3 elements of type string

 Assign each element of the array to one of the

students (name) in your class


 Make use a For … next loop to print the

elements of the array on a listbox.


Exception Handling
 An exception is a problem that arises
during the execution of a program.
 An exception is a response to an
exceptional circumstance that arises while
a program is running, such as an attempt
to divide by zero.
 Exceptions provide a way to transfer
control from one part of a program to
another.
 The coding structure VB.NET used to deal with
such Exceptions is called the Try … Catch
structure
 VB. Net exception handling is built upon
four keywords: Try, Catch, Finally and
Throw.
Uncaught exception
Program mostly terminates when there is an
uncaught exception (illustrate)

► If debugging in Visual Studio, application pauses


and Exception Assistant appears indicating where
the exception occurred
Dim n1, n2, r As Integer Take and assign
n1 = num1.Text inputs from user

n2 = num2.Text
r = n1 / n2
MessageBox.Show(r)
► Error Handling is an essential part of any good
code.
► Exception
 An indication of a problem that occurs during a

program’s execution
 System.Exception is the base class for all

exceptions
 The coding structure VB.NET uses to deal with

such Exceptions is called the Try … Catch


structure.
Syntax Try …. Catch
Try
[ try statements ]

Catch ExceptionVariable As ExceptionType


[ catch statements ]

‘Additional Catch block


Finally
[ finally statements ]

End Try
Try Block
► Means “ Try to execute this code “

► Encloses code that might throw an exception and


the code that should not execute if an exception
occurs

► Corresponding End Try

► There must be at least one Catch block and/or


Finally block immediately after the Try block
Catch Block
► Means "Catch any errors here“
► Catches and handles an exception
 Begins with keyword Catch

 Specifies an identifier and exception type

► Example: Catch e As Exception

 Executes when exception of proper type

matches
Finally Block
► Programs that obtain certain resources must
return them explicitly to avoid resource leaks
► Finally block
 Optional in a Try statement

 Placed after the last Catch block (if there is

one)
 Executes whether or not an exception is

thrown in the corresponding Try block or any of


its corresponding Catch blocks
 Generally we use it to close an opened file or

connection
Try
n1 = num1.Text
n2 = num2.Text
r = n1 / n2
MessageBox.Show(r)
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
DivideByZeroTest
Try: A Try block identifies a block of code for which
particular exceptions will be activated. It's followed by
one or more Catch blocks.

Catch: A program catches an exception with an


exception handler at the place in a program where
you want to handle the problem. The Catch keyword
indicates the catching of an exception.

Finally: The Finally block is used to execute a given


set of statements, whether an exception is thrown or
not thrown. For example, if you open a file, it must be
closed whether an exception is raised or not.

Throw: A program throws an exception when a


problem shows up. This is done using a Throw
keyword.
 Syntax
Assuming a block will raise an exception, a
method catches an exception using a
combination of the Try and Catch keywords.
 A Try/Catch block is placed around the code that
might generate an exception.
 Code within a Try/Catch block is referred to as
protected code, and the syntax for using
Class illustration
Public Class Form1
Private Sub bntAdd_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handle
bntAdd.Click
Try
Dim Months() = {"Jan", "feb", "march"}
For i = 0 To 3
If i > Months.Length - 1 Then
Throw New IndexOutOfRangeException(" Your are accessing an index that don't
exist")
End If
lstAddArray.Items.Add(Months(i))
Next

Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)

'Catch ex As Exception
' MsgBox("an error has occurred" & Environment.NewLine & ex.ToString())
Finally
MsgBox("am the finally")

End Try
