Unable to catch exception from Activator.CreateInstance.
- by Patrik Hägne
OK, I admit it this code will just look weird to you, and that's because it is weird. This is just code to reproduce the behavior, not code I want to use.
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(Func<int>), new object[] { new object(), IntPtr.Zero });
}
catch
{
Console.WriteLine("This won't print!");
}
Console.Write("Actually this will not print either!");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
No matter what exception type I try to catch (the actual exception thrown is an ArgumentException as far as I can tell) the code inside the catch block will not execute. Actually execution will just stop at the Activator.CreateInstance-line.
