How to handleHow to handle exceptions and

validate data

Objectives jApplied 1. Given a form that uses text boxes to accept data from the user, write

d h h i h i hcode that catches any exceptions that might occur.2. Given a form that uses text boxes to accept data and the validation

specifications for that data, write code that validates the user entries.3. Use dialog boxes as needed within your applications.

Knowledge 1 Describe the Exception hierarchy and name two of its subclasses1. Describe the Exception hierarchy and name two of its subclasses.2. Describe the use of try-catch statements to catch specific exceptions

as well as all exceptions. 3 D ib th f th ti d th d f ti3. Describe the use of the properties and methods of an exception

object.

Objectives (cont.)j ( )4. Describe the use of throw statements. 5. Describe the three types of data validation that you’re most likely to

perform on a user entryperform on a user entry.6. Describe two ways that you can use generic validation methods in a

method that validates all of the user entries for a form.

The dialog box for an unhandled exceptiong p

The Exception hierarchy p yfor five common exceptions

System namespaceExceptionException

ArithmeticExceptionFormatException

DivideByZeroExceptionOverflowException

Methods that might throw exceptionsg pClass Method Exception Convert ToDecimal(string) FormatException OverflowException

Convert ToInt32(string) FormatException OverflowException

Decimal Parse(string) FormatException OverflowException

DateTime Parse(string) FormatException

The syntax to display a dialog box y p y gwith an OK button

MessageBox.Show(text[, caption]);

A di l b ith OK b ttA dialog box with an OK button

The statement that displays this dialog box M B Sh (MessageBox.Show( "Please enter a valid number for the Subtotal field.", "Entry Error");

The syntax for a simple try-catch statementy p ytry { statements } catch { statements }

A try-catch statementA try catch statementtry { decimal subtotal = Convert.ToDecimal(txtSubtotal.Text); decimal discountPercent = .2m; decimal discountAmount = subtotal * discountPercent; decimal invoiceTotal = subtotal - discountAmount; } catch { MessageBox.Show( "Please enter a valid number for the Subtotal field.", "Entry Error"); }

The dialog box that’s displayed for an exceptiong p y p

The syntax for a try-catch statement y ythat accesses the exception

try { statements } catch(ExceptionClass exceptionName) { statements }

Two common properties for all exceptions Property Description Message Gets a message that briefly describes the current

exception. StackTrace Gets a string that lists the methods that were called

before the exception occurred.

A common method for all exceptions M th d D i tiMethod DescriptionGetType() Gets the type of the current exception.

A try-catch statement that accesses the exceptiony ptry { decimal subtotal =

Convert.ToDecimal(txtSubtotal.Text); Convert.ToDecimal(txtSubtotal.Text);} catch(Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message + "\n\n" + ex.GetType().ToString() + "\n" + ex.StackTrace, "Exception"); }

A statement that catches two specific exceptionsp ptry { decimal monthlyInvestment = Convert.ToDecimal(txtMonthlyInvestment.Text); decimal yearlyInterestRate = y y Convert.ToDecimal(txtInterestRate.Text); int years = Convert.ToInt32(txtYears.Text); } catch(FormatException) // a specific exception {

MessageBox Show( MessageBox.Show( "A format exception has occurred. Please check all entries.", "Entry Error"); } catch(OverflowException) // another specific exception {

M B Sh ( MessageBox.Show( "An overflow exception has occurred. Please enter smaller values.", "Entry Error"); } catch(Exception ex) // all other exceptions { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, ex.GetType().ToString()); } finally // this code runs whether or not an exception occurs { PerformCleanup(); }

The syntax for throwing a new exceptiony g pthrow new ExceptionClass([message]);

The syntax for throwing an existing exception throw exceptionName;

When to throw an exception Wh th d t it ti h it i ’t bl t• When a method encounters a situation where it isn’t able to complete its task.

• When you want to generate an exception to test an exception handlerhandler.

• When you want to catch the exception, perform some processing, and then throw the exception again.

A method that throws an exception pwhen an exceptional condition occurs

private decimal CalculateFutureValue( decimal monthlyInvestment,

decimal monthlyInterestRate int months) decimal monthlyInterestRate, int months){ if (monthlyInvestment <= 0) throw new Exception( "Monthly Investment must be greater than 0.");

if (monthl InterestRate < 0) if (monthlyInterestRate <= 0) throw new Exception( "Interest Rate must be greater than 0."); . . }}

Code that throws an exception for testingp gtry { decimal subtotal = Convert.ToDecimal(txtSubtotal.Text);

throw new Exception("An unknown exception occurred."); throw new Exception( An unknown exception occurred. );} catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message + "\n\n" + ex.GetType().ToString() + "\n" + ex.StackTrace, "Exception"); }

Code that rethrows an exception ptry { Convert.ToDecimal(txtSubtotal.Text); }} catch (FormatException fe) { txtSubtotal.Focus(); throw fe;}

The code for the Future Value application ppwith exception handling (cont.) catch(FormatException) {

Code that checks that an entry has been madeyif (txtMonthlyInvestment.Text == "") { MessageBox.Show(

Code that checks an entry for a valid decimal value

A method that checks for a valid numeric rangegpublic bool IsWithinRange(TextBox textBox, string name, decimal min, decimal max) {

decimal number = Convert.ToDecimal(textBox.Text); decimal number Convert.ToDecimal(textBox.Text); if (number < min || number > max) { MessageBox.Show(name + " must be between " + min.ToString() + " and " + max.ToString() + ".", "Entry Error"); textBox.Focus(); return false; }
