I've seen this a lot in one project - 143 instances in `master` at the time of writing. ```csharp try { // ... } catch { } ``` An empty catch. Not so much as a write to an error log or stderr. If you're not going to handle an exception, at least record that it happened. Update: This gets better as VisualStudio breaks on these exceptions by default and a new development environment will halt consistently. Were they suppressed in other environments? _This is a page in the collection of [[Chip Overflow/Willies|snippets that give me the willies]]_
