return and finally

[Steve B.]

Hi,

I I have in a code like this :

public void A()
{
try
{
DoSomething();
return;
}
catch
{
return;
}
finally
{
Clean();
}
}

When does the Clean() method is called if I have a return instruction in the
try block ?

Thanks,
Steve

As the link below says 'Control is always passed to the finally block
regardless of how the try block exits'

The finally block is ALWAYS called, even if you have a call to return in
there.

I know it called, but I'd like to know when

it is the first thing that is called when the execution path leaves the try
catch block

Ahh Once you exit the try block, unless an exception is thrown, in which
it's once case the appropriate catch block finishes.
