Try-catch statement

As explained in C# Concurrency: Asynchronous and multithreaded programming

A try-catch block is a C# exception-handling construct that catches exceptions raised by code in its try region.

How C# Concurrency: Asynchronous and multithreaded programming covers it

How deep it goes

Explains call-stack unwinding and deferred callbacks, but stops short of detailed catch-filter or exception-type syntax.

Examples

Uses event-handler, await, ContinueWith, nested-catch, and TaskCompletionSource examples to contrast exception boundaries.

What it assumes

Assumes familiarity with methods, call stacks, lambdas, continuations, and async/await.

What you can do after

Diagnose why exceptions escape surrounding handlers and place catches at the executing asynchronous or callback boundary.

How it connects

Ties exception handling to call stacks, lambda expressions, event handlers, continuations, and async/await.
