Try-catch showdialog method

[JohanNL]

In some code I found:

Try
frm.ShowDialog(Me)
Catch ex As Exception
End Try

Is it good to use the try-catch here?

He may want the ability to catch any unhandled exceptions from that window. I use this technique sometimes for narrowing down where exceptions occur, then I go back and put in better error handling after I see a new one

Thanx guys, a collegue says he used it, because errors can occur from wrong usage of the DialogWindow
