Rethrowing caught exception in C# is just
throw;, notthrow ex;. This will delete old stack trace, which is very punishable if someone debugs your code later and you're still around.I am a somewhat new C# developer (2 years). Could you explain more about this?
throw ex;treatsexas a new exception, so, it starts a new stack trace for it from itself and deletes stack trace that was saved inex.StackTrace. On the other hand,throw;takes already present exception in the scope and throws it without modifying the stack trace, preserving the original method that threwexin the stack trace.I feel like I wrote the same thing twice. I'm a bit bad with explaining stuff, feel free to ask more specific questions if you still don't understand the difference.
