With catch blocks the only recourse, so far as I can tell, is to basically copy-and-paste the catch code to each location where you need the exception handling code.
Not really... Instead of copy pasting, you can put it in a method or class and use that handler where you need the exception handling to be done. There are more creative ways and less brute way of handling exceptions, without having to resort to MPL. Whenever you see that the exception is being handled in *almost* the same context, then perhaps you can design your solution so that you handle that exception in a common location as well. It's more about design than it actually is about just handling the exception per se. While exceptions themselves allow you functionality to have interested areas of code handle the exception, they also serve as control structures for program state flaw in the face of exceptional instances -- thus the term exception handling. -- Dean Michael C.
