      This is a reucurring theme at this specific subject unfortunately. He doesn’t seem to put much effort into it, as most slides are just plain text and nothing else. I stopped attending after the second class.

        That truly sucks. Yeah, some professors can be like that. I had a math professor offer bonus points to the first 3 students completed the assignment, only for the majority to cheat and just look up the answer and turn that in. It became a contest of who could copy the fastest and one student even admitted to doing it, but she just didn’t care and gave points to the cheaters anyway.

    I have never extended from or caught an application extension in my entire career. Agree with Microsoft, if it’s an application exception it’s coming from the framework. All of mine derive from exception.

      I should have elaborated, but basically what MD87 replied. During the development of .NET it was decided that every exception caused by programs should inherit from ApplicationException, and all system errors should inherit from SystemException. Unfortunately .NET devs didn’t follow this and now everything should just inherit Exception since it’s easier to check. Interestingly, both SystemException and ApplicationException seem functionally identical to Exception.
