One Thing Is Clear: Not Enough New Jobs
12:00 AM, May 5, 2012 • By IRWIN M. STELZER
Then there is the housing sector, always the most difficult to analyze, in no small part because several indexes are published and often point in different directions. The fairest summary seems to be this. Prices have stopped falling, and if prices paid for foreclosed (repossessed) properties are excluded, might be rising a bit. The inventory of foreclosed houses that overhangs the market is being worked off as investor groups buy them for refurbishment and conversion into rental units. The rise in pending home sales (deals not yet closed) means that new-home sales and sales of existing homes will rise in coming months, and realtors (estate agents) in some cities are already complaining of a lack of properties to show potential buyers. The supply of homes that are empty and waiting to be sold is down, as is the apartment vacancy rate. The recovering economy has stimulated the rate of household formation—the sighs of relief you might hear are parents regaining control of their television sets and fridges. There are one million more households in the U.S. than at this time last year, the largest increase in six years. Construction of new homes is scheduled to increase by about 24 percent this year.
All of these figures do not represent a return of the glory days before the housing bubble burst: mortgages are still difficult to come by, and more foreclosures are in store. But along with my conversations with builders they suggest that the worst is over, and that the housing sector will not be the drag on the economy that it has been for the past several years. Moreover, the recovery seems to be spread across both the country and price brackets. Phoenix, Arizona, perhaps the hardest hit market, saw prices fall by over 50 percent. Now, realtors report multiple bids on lower-end houses. On the other end of the country, and the price spectrum there is New York City, a magnet for foreigners who are out-bidding local billionaires who bid a mere $40 million for top-of-the-line condominiums—with the record sale so far this year topping $50 million, small change by London standards, but enough to make more than a ripple in the Big Apple property market.
The politics of all these data are obvious. Obama will claim that his policies have created hundreds of thousands of jobs, and converted a serious downturn into an upturn. Romney will point out that after spending trillions of dollars the president has succeeded only in restoring the unemployment rate to the level he inherited.
We know this: The American economy is continuing a sluggish recovery, but one so far incapable of creating enough jobs for Americans who want full-time work. What we don't know is where we are headed in the next several months.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Weekend Get Away.,
J Reader (CANADA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tell No One: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
I am not much of a Coben fan. I've only read one of his other books and it was so cheezy and awful I swore I would never read another. So I came to this novel skeptical. I was very surprised when I found myself not wanting to put it down.
Coben was able to get me to care about the characters. Not just the main characters but almost all of them. I appreciate it when an author cares enough to give the people in his novel some back story so I can see them as more than caricatures. The best part is that you don't realize he's doing it. There is never a lull in the action while he develops the backstory. Everything flows remarkably well.
The most compelling aspect of this story is it's unpredictability. I always thought I knew where the story was going and I was always wrong. I love that in a novel and Tell No One does it wonderfully. It's packed with action, suspense, a great love story and a healthy dose of mystery.
I would strongly recommend this book to anyone. It's the perfect lazy weekend novel because you won't want to stop reading once you start.
4.0 out of 5 stars Easily Read, Though No Great Surprises,
"Tell No-One", first published in 2001, is Harlan Coben's eighth book - though is his first not to feature Myron Bolitar. Instead, the book's hero is David Beck. He'd known his wife, Elizabeth, from childhood - they'd met when they were seven, had their first kiss at twelve underneath a tree at Lake Charmaine and married at twenty-five. (Lake Charmaine was once a kids' summer camp, and is now owned by David's grandfather). After their first kiss, they carved their initials on the accompanying tree and, being a very cheesy couple, returned every year to add another notch beneath them. However, the evening they add their thirteenth notch, the couple are attacked - David is left for dead, while Elizabeth is abducted. Three days later, Elizabeth's body is found and is later identified by her father - from the signature branding, it seems the couple had been attacked by the serial killer Elroy "KillRoy" Kellerton.
Time moves on, though David remains single and never properly gets over Elizabeth's death. Eight years later, he's working as a paediatrician, with the majority of his patients on Medicaid. Unfortunately, events are about to bring what happened at Lake Charmaine back to the surface. The first thing provides possibly the biggest shock of them all - an email from Elizabeth, containing phrases only she should've known. The same afternoon, David is contacted by the local Sheriff about two bodies that have just been found near the lake. A baseball bat buried with them has blood traces on it that matches David's blood group - B positive. However, while it's not entirely clear what part - if any - these men played in the attack on David and Elizabeth, things aren't about to get any better.
Obviously, David finds this all very unsettling. Despite a warning in one of Elizabeth's emails - "tell no-one" - David decides to confide in Shauna, his ex-roommate and his sister, Linda's, long-term partner. Linda manages the Brandon Scope Memorial Charity, named after the son of a local billionaire who'd been murdered several years previously. The charity had been founded by the billionaire, Griffin, an ex-classmate of both David's and Elizabeth's fathers. Unfortunately, it's clear from very early in the book that Griffin has some business dealings some very unsavoury people and is keeping a very close eye on Davis.
Overall, I found "Tell No-One" a very enjoyable and easily read book. Coben tells the story in two distinct styles. The sections of the book about David are told from his point of view ("I tried to reach for it, but someone leapt in my back"). However, the sections that focus on other characters are written about them ("Griffin hung up the phone and snapped on a pair of latex gloves"). While the approach may put some off, I felt it worked well. The ending, on the other hand, seemed a little too neat and not quite as dramatic as it should've been. Nevertheless, it's still a recommended book.

Jerry Saperstein (Evanston, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This is the third Coben novel I've read. All were enjoyable, but each is dragged down by Coben's penchant for complex plots that often veer into the unbelievable. He also has an unfortunate tendency to carry some characters from one novel to another. This is particularly grueling because Coben's characters aren't well developed to begin with.
All that said and done, Coben is a thoroughly enjoyable read.
His plots, as stretched as they become, have a glow of craftsmanship to them. They definitely do propel you through the story. The characters, flat as they often are, still have enough heft to keep your interest.
In short, Coben and in this case "Tell No One" are just plain fun reads. They will keep your interest. I intend to pursue all of Coben's novels, not only because they are fun reading, but because this writer has a future and could indeed turn out to be one of the best suspense novelists of all time. It's kind of fun to watch his growth.
1.0 out of 5 stars Myron fans, beware!,
Denny Gibbons (Champaign, IL USA) - See all my reviews
If you enjoyed Coben's Myron Bolitar novels and are expecting great things from this novel, don't read it! I love the Myron series and I have never been more disappointed in a book as I was in this one.
One of the things that I enjoyed so much about the Myron books was the witty dialogue and likeable characters (like Win and Esperanza). In this book, Coben tried to be too serious so the dialogue was very sappy and unoriginal (the same goes for the characters). The readers are also treated to the main character's constant running social commentary on the lower class and how some criminals are just misunderstood. "Don't judge a book by its cover" stuff.
Another problem that made me uninterested in all the characters was the fact that the good guys are ridiculously good (the main character, his wife, and his sister ALL work for the poor), the bad guys are ridiculously evil (the evil billionaire and his unbelieveably sadistic hitman), and, in classic Harlan Coben style, the cops investigating are all dumb, bull-headed creeps who, if they were any worse, would be wearing swastikas on their arms. Oh yeah, and I forgot the "look at me, I'm so politically correct" lesbian couple, the typical boisterous defense attorney, and the drug dealer with the heart of gold.
If you're a Harlan Coben fan, stick to his Myron Bolitar novels. This is like a Myron book without any witty dialogue, likeable characters, or interesting plot developments. Coben's best work is clearly behind him unless he resurrects Myron, I don't think it's going to get better.
5.0 out of 5 stars Harlan Coben's best work...,
Jerry L. McGahagin (Snellville, Ga United States) - See all my reviews
Harlan Coben pens perhaps his best novel to date in "Tell No One". After having read "No Second chance" - his latest, I was eager to read something else by the talented writer. I was drawn to this book after hearing a few friends tell me that this is his best work and that movie rights had been bought for the story. The talk was not just hype, Coben writes a masterfully suspenseful edge-of-your-seat thriller. It is a fast-paced story that manages to keep you intrigued and guessing for all of its 300+ pages. Let me tell you a few things that may help you make up your own mind about "Tell No One":
Coben grabs your attention from the very first page. You learn in the first chapter that 8 years ago Dr. David Beck was celebrating the anniversary of his wife and his first kiss when she is kidnapped and a few days later found dead. During the kidnapping David is beaten and left for dead. Flash forward to present day - after 8 years something happens to shift the reality of what may have really happened that night. Is his wife really dead? The reader is hooked and the story does let go until the thrilling (and surprising) conclusion.
Coben combines characters that are cops, FBI, drug dealers, and mafia hitmen and does it all masterfully. Pick this book up and you likely won't be able to put it back down until it's over. It's a very entertaining read by a very talented author.
5.0 out of 5 stars Tell Everyone, This is a Masterpiece!,
James N Simpson (Gold Coast, QLD Australia) - See all my reviews
There are very few books you start reading and can't put down until the final page, no matter what is on TV or happening outside of the book. This thriller is one of those sensational novels.
Dr. David Beck lost his wife eight years ago after being knocked unconscious by a baseball bat, to a serial killer named Killroy who tortured her for three days before branding and killing her. He has never gotten over her death but has tired to lead a normal life by helping out the underprivileged children through his surgery in a rough neighbourhood. Nearing the anniversary of her death he received an e-mail which makes him question his sanity by giving him a small hope she may not actually be dead.
Meanwhile two more bodies turn up at the lake where Elizabeth was abducted alongside the very baseball bat used to knock Beck unconscious. The FBI suspects Dr. Beck may have more to do with his wife's murder than they previously thought and when more murders occur that point to him, he becomes one of America's most wanted. He can't surrender though, because his wife might just be out there trying to contact him and in custody he may miss the chance to ever find out if she is alive. The violent people who murdered her eight years ago have also become interested in Dr. Beck and they want to have a little chat.
This is a sensational thriller. Buy a blank tape for your VCR as well as Tell No One, because you will not be watching TV or doing anything else until you have finished this masterpiece.
4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Stuff: Tell No One by Harlan Coben,
Kevin Tipple (Plano, Texas) - See all my reviews
"It was the one lesson he never forgot. You don't sit back when you or a loved one is being assaulted. And you don't act like the government with their 'proportional responses' and all that nonsense. If someone hurts you, mercy and pity must be put aside. You eliminate the enemy. You scorch the earth. Those who scoffed at this philosophy, who thought it unnecessarily Machiavellian, usually were the ones who cause excess destruction."
So wrote Harlan Coben in his very enjoyable book with a theme of vengeance and revenge. At center point in this novel is Doctor David Beck. A man of medicine and a man that does not believe in the modern day psycho babble nonsense concerning such things as closure. For David Beck, time does not heal all wounds. First his father died twelve years ago in what could have been a simple traffic accident or a suicide. Then, eight short years ago, his wife was murdered.
The fact that he was powerless to stop it, dropped by blows to the head that cracked his skull does not alleviate his pain and his guilt over her murder. They were at the family retreat and she was grabbed, he was brutally assaulted and pushed off the dock to drown in the lake. The fact that he survived was a medical miracle and something that he has never accepted. He misses her tremendously every single day of his life.
Despite the fact that everyone had told him to move on, he can't. And as it comes time to mark their anniversary, he is reminded how much he misses her. Then, he gets a strange e-mail with a message containing a phrase that only the two of them shared. No one else could possible know the phrase or what it means. Then, he gets a second message a day later and is soon directed to a web cam that for a moment, somewhere in the world, shows her. Or someone that looks amazingly like her.
He begins a frantic search, turning to his friends and family. At the same time, someone is searching for him and to find out what he knows about happened eight years ago. And they will stop at absolutely nothing to get the answers they seek to end the problem once and for all.
This is a very enjoyable novel and primarily action oriented. There is some character development on a rather limited scale, but the focus is on a man running for his life from events beyond his control. Sure it has been done before but this one is better than most. This good read novel keeps the reader turning the page and is full of numerous false clues and detours until one reaches a very surprising ending.
3.0 out of 5 stars I Didn't Rush Out To Tell Anyone about "Tell No One",
Scott Kolecki (Brooklyn, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
Let me begin by saying that I am not a major fan of suspense-thriller novels, so I read this book after my wife walked away from it feeling confused and disappointed. I was intrigued by the fragments of the story she shared with me, and so I picked it up and gave it a read.
The novel, "Tell No One" by Harlan Coben, is a somewhat dis-jointed novel about a husband who loses his wife while on a getaway with her at a family cabin. He is attacked and left for dead, and when he recovers, he discovers his wife is taken.
Eight years later, having long believed that his wife is dead, he receives a strange Email that suggests that she is anything but. Before long, the story delves into a tale of deceit, murder, corruption which ultimately leads the husband into a world that put his life in great peril.
Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
It is, but the novel, written partially in the first person, partially in the third, reads more like a screenplay than a novel. The characters are shallow, with little or no development which often leaves the reader feeling indifferent about the situations they are placed in. Coben's ability to depict some of the graphic acts taken on various characters throughout the novel read more like a "how-to" manual than descriptive narrative, leaving the reader feeling grossed out and unsettled (which may be the desired effect), but his inability to translate that method of storytelling to the thoughts and motivations of his characters again leave the reader feeling unsympathetic to the plight of the victims.
To his credit, this story moves quickly, and does not drone on with the exposition so many writers of this genre employ, placing and presenting background for the situations and events in a way that can often bore the reader, or be insulting to their intelligence, but I think this novel could have used a little character expositon to give them depth and belivability.
For those looking for an incredible, unbelievable story that they can escape into for a few hours, this novel is probably for you. However, do not expect it to be a great literary work-its not. Its very predictable, relying on graphic violence to fill the void of genuine suspense. If you are looking for a more intense novel in this genre, try Thomas Harris's "Lecter" novels. They hit the mark far more solidly than this effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars I missed work because of this!!,
By A Customer
Please tell no one (sorry) that I missed work because of this. Wow...this is a page turner! I started the book last night at about 8pm, read non-stop until 3am, couldn't sleep because I was all riled up, took the following day off and finished it by 12 noon (even lost weight due to sweat-provoking anxiousness). In general, I have found Coben to be lightweight, with the characters and plot often unbelievable. The dialogue in his books walks the cutesy line a little too much for my tastes as well. This book has much of that (a bit unbelievable--both characters and plot....I especially found the lesbian and african-american "speak" particularly annoying), but it really didn't matter. I was so absorbed in the book, that I found it impossible to put it down. You really aren't allowed to breathe easy at the end of any chapter....constant trouble for our poor Beck. Great book.....lot's of fun.....save it for a day when you have nothing else to do and read it from start to finish.
5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional,
Beverly J. Scott "Author and avid reader" (Ankeny, IA USA) - See all my reviews
I have read several Coben novels, all were winners but TELL NO ONE is by far my favorite. TELL NO ONE will hold you captive hours beyond your bedtime. Coben, who has a talent for creating rich, multi-dimensional characters and rivetingly original plots, has out done himself with this narrative. For eight long years Dr. David Beck has moved numbly through his existence. Since the day that his wife, Elizabeth, the woman he had loved since the age of seven, was kidnapped and murdered, David Beck has survived for his patients. Then a strange email pops up on his screen with information only Elizabeth knew and the words "Tell no one."

A first hand look from the .NET engineering teams
You've seen the advice before—it's not a good programming practice to catch System.Exception. Because managed exceptions are hierarchical, catching the top of the hierarchy—e.g., catch(Exception)—is an easy way to make sure that you catch all exceptions. But do you really want to catch all exceptions?
Empty catch statements can be just as bad, depending on the MSIL code that your language generates. C# turns an empty catch statement into catch(System.Object) which means you end up catching all exceptions—even non-CLS compliant exceptions. VB is better-behaved, turning an empty catch statement into catch e as System.Exception which limits you to catching CLS compliant exceptions.
Instead, you should catch the exact exception types that you expect because these are the types your code is prepared to handle. Obviously, any code that throws an exception is a good candidate for corresponding catch. MSDN documents all exceptions that can be raised from BCL functions. For example, System.IO.StreamReader () can throw ArgumentException or ArgumentNullException. If you use a StreamReader you should catch—and handle—these two exceptions.
We sometimes see advice that suggests you should catch all exceptions. In Eric Brechner's Hard Code column he said that letting an application crash and invoke Windows Error Reporting (commonly called "Watson" from the pre-Vista days) was "completely idiotic and irresponsible." He suggests that instead you catch all exceptions and "try to correct" them.
There's one small problem with Eric's advice: the word "try". When you catch an exception you MUST handle the exceptional condition. Catching an exception is a statement that you can handle the exception and restore the program to a non-exceptional state. Trying to handle an exception isn't sufficient. Follow the advice of someone older and wiser: "Do, or do not. There is no 'try'."
One key problem is that our exception hierarchy is a single mechanism representing multiple exceptional conditions. Krzysztof Cwalina explains this pretty well, breaking exceptional conditions into three sets: usage errors, logical errors and system failures. Usage errors are a condition that should always be fixed by the developer—for example, if an API cannot take null, the developer should ensure that she doesn't pass in null. Logical errors can't be detected at development time but should be handled at program runtime by the program itself. For example, a FileNotFoundException should be handled by creating the file or prompting the user for a new filename. System failures, however, cannot be handled by code. System failures indicate that something has gone wrong outside of your program's scope. Your program can not be expected to correct a system failure. Thus the suggestion that you "try to correct" the error condition cannot reasonably be applied to system failures.
Let's say your program causes an access violation and you catch the AccessViolationException. What can you do now? Find the pointer which has the bad value and set it to point to the right memory? If you could do that, you wouldn't have AV'd in the first place. Catching the exception is the wrong thing to do if you can't correct the error. In the case of a system failure you can't correct the error.
We're making a change in Visual Studio 2010's CLR to make it harder to make this mistake. When an exception could indicate a corrupted process state—what Krzysztof calls a system failure—you'll have to use a new attribute to indicate your intention explicitly. You can read about the details in the CLR Inside Out column in February's MSDN Magazine. Even with our Corrupted State Exceptions work, catching all exceptions is not a good idea. If you can't correct the condition that resulted in an exception being raised you're always much better off Watsoning up (that is, letting your program exit and invoke Windows Error Reporting.) Watson will report back from the user's machine so that you can fix the error in your next servicing or release.
Andrew Pardoe
Program Manager, CLR
@stefan.wenig: Code contracts are not "the answer". They are just something that help developers write better programs. You mentioned "a FileNotFoundException indicates a violation of some internal precondition"... Code contracts use words like "internal precondition" and "developer error"...
As for the rest of your comment...well, I believe I've already said everything I can say. If you believe that catching only the exceptions you expect is useless and that releasing resources in finally blocks is the sign of an obsession then I bet I'm not able to say anything that would convince you otherwise.
A very nice comment tail is growing at the post " Why catch(Exception)/empty is bad " on the
you twist my words.
I made a point about catching ArgumentExceptions usually being a bad sign, because you'd be catching your own bugs instead of fixing them.
When you call a method that might throw an ArgumentNullException, would you
a) check the arguments you pass to that method, or
b) happily pass nulls and then catch the resulting exception?
You chose b), but I still don't understand why you would do that.
This debate has _nothing_ to do with whether or not code contracts would help me (they would). This is about how to deal with those situations in the absence of code contracts. I believe catching such exceptions is only useful under special circumstances (I enumerated some). I did not see a plausible argument to the contrary yet.
Exceptions are a powerful tool, and it's easy to hurt oneself with powerful tools. Still, I find it hard to accept that I should not be able to catch a wide range of exceptions at a high level at all. Sure, there are traps to fall into when you do this (I mentioned inconsistently modified state that outlives your try block). But instead of talking about those traps, and helping to identify and avoid them, you want to outlaw anything but
try {
} catch (MyMethodException) {...}
There's so much more that exception handling can do.
> If you believe [...] that releasing resources in finally blocks is the sign of an obsession
Nice twisting again. I am obsessed with this, because it's something you have to get right the first time. I'm not saying it's a bad obsession. But if all we did use exceptions for is small local try/catch blocks that catch exceptions thrown one or two stack frames above, and if anything else would result in a process kill, there would be little trouble with missing cleanup code in reality.
@Stefan Wenig: I don't mean to twist your words. It's hard to have a conversation in a comment box; I'm sorry if I'm focusing on the wrong points. The particular words you used evoked "code contracts" in my mind as reliably as if I were Pavlov's dog.
With regards to your last comments, I think we're in agreement. It's much better to check arguments that you pass to a method, regardless of whether or not it can throw ArgumentNullException. I'm all for validating inputs either at runtime or through assertions or code contracts.
I also agree that small, local try/catch blocks that only go a single frame are much, much better than letting exceptions travel over a long stack. Sometimes exceptions have to travel a few frames but handling errors as close to origination as possible is usually the right thing to do.
Of course with either of these points there are arguments to the contrary for particular scenarios. I'm aware of arguments against both but don't think they need discussion here.
I certainly don't want to outlaw anything but try { MyMethod(); } catch (MyMethodException) {...}. I do think that most implementations of exception handling are *too* powerful (including the CLR's implementation) but that's my own personal opinion and not something I'll push as CLR doctrine :)
OK, now we're talking the same language again. Thanks for not letting the conversation die like it began (probably my fault for the way I started pointing out mistakes).
As for whether it's NEVER a good idea to let exceptions travel a lot on the stack, I think we have to agree to disagree. (Which is certainly a progress, considering how this discussion went up to now ;-))
I only ask you to acknowledge that catching exceptions in the catch-all way for message processing and similar stuff has some advantages. Whether they outweigh the disadvantages they sure bring should be up to every developer to decide. I believe you're right to warn people about the disadvantages. But you should not stop there and make this pattern a purely at-your-own-risk thing.
If I would decide that doing exception handling in a non-local way fits my needs, I'd like to get more information and advice about what to do to enable this (state, immutable objects etc.), and which exceptions never to catch. That was my whole point.
No worries...in the end we're all interested in the same thing: better code.
I maintain that the further an exception gets from where it was raised the less likely it is you can correct the error. Codebases differ, though, and I'm thinking about the common case. There are reasons to let exceptions fly over many stack frames and the fact that exceptions can travel far up the stack is one key reason that exceptions can better than checking error codes on every function call.
I'll acknowledge that a top-level catch-all can be appropriate in some scenarios. But I will add caveats:
- You need to make sure the program state is consistent if you want to keep running code. This is not an easy thing to accomplish in the presence of unexpected exceptions. Your mileage may vary, though, especially in hosted scenarios.
- Windows Error Reporting offers better logging facilities than most programs offer. Some programs have need for their own custom logging or have reason to just ignore the error (like the instance I mentioned above where I used catch(...) around main). However, WER frees up most programs from having to create and maintain their own top-level logging facilities.
As for exceptions never to catch, read the article I wrote about Corrupted State Exceptions. The main point of that work is to keep catch(Exception e) from catching exceptions that indicate a possibly corrupted process. The CLR cannot be allowed to continue to execute code if the process is corrupt. This work makes it impossible to catch this worst case of exceptions without explicitly stating your intention to do so.
In the article I link to another MSDN article by Grunkemeyer and Cantorcini about writing reliable .NET code. It explains a bit about how to deal with state in the presence of failure.
I promise my next blog post will be less exciting!
"Do not let your program execute in an unknown state. For most programmers this statement implies "do not catch exceptions your program is not prepared to handle"."
THIS is the sensible advice that Microsoft should be spreading, along with analysis of the scenarios when general exception handlers can and should be employed. Stating repeatedly that "catch(Exception) is bad" simply reinforces the idea that Microsoft is out of touch with "real-world" developers.
There is nothing "always wrong". I think this kind of checks should be left to fxCop or StyleCop. In general, I rather much prefer to have application level handler where exception details can be shown to user and/or reported back to vendor. Windows Error reporting is UGLY and had huge UX issue in itself. Just a mere site of is scary and gives a bad impression to users about program that "it crashed" without any warnings. It's physcological issue but very important and it would be naive to ignore it. Also how do you expect vendors to recieve error reports generated by Windows? Most professional applicatiosn DO use catch all and send report to vendors. Many of the applications I love says it in much better way
"Oops! Sorry. Something bad happened. Below is the detailed message. If you understand it then may be it will help you to fix the problem. Otherwise gives a call at 1-800-343-1111".
Compare this to raw ugliness of Windows error reporting. If I start seeing that instead of message like above when app has run time error I'll probably give on those apps.
What an interesting discussion!
I don't do catchalls very often and I always make contributors cry because I force them to remove them. They are actually programmers out there that think catch-ing the Exception IS handling it (and making the problem go away).
But what makes me use or accept them is the inability of the C# language (and others) to let me express what I really want, and that is categorizing exceptions similar to what Krzsystof Cwalina and others are proposing.
For example, if I look at, say, APIs in the System.IO namespace, do I really want to handle each and every documented or undocumented exception, probably with the same code over and over again? Or might I resort to just catch IOException, UnauthorizedException and SecurityException, given that most exceptions aren't specific enough anyway to handle them correctly (see Directory.Move for examples). Database exceptions are another example of notoriously hard to handle exceptions, even if it's something mundane such as a Timeout or ConstraintViolation.
Some of the exceptions are indirectly caused by the user and I would rather have her repeat the action with a different set of input, than restart the whole shebang. Not everybody's app is as simple as a Twitter client.
And no, it is not reasonable to expect a file can be opened and read in its entirety after File.Exists returns true.
Then there are frameworks such as Enterprise Library that stipulate the use of catchalls and second-order handlers, but mostly making debugging much harder than it should be.
And finally, WER (on XP) is just a nuisance for larger organizations, and access to [Verisign] code-signing certificates and OCA-responsibilities is not as easy and straight-forward as it is for a 5-head ISV. And AFAIK is not at all useful for any deeper .NET crash analysis.
So I fire up my own catchalls on the layer boundaries and my unhandled exception handlers, knowing that there is little if anything I can do about EngineExecutionException, AccessViolationException, OutOfMemoryException, StackOverflowException or arbitrary objects thrown from some managed C++ wisenheimer.
But at least I can try to get a (full) "mini"-dump if it is something else.
You say that "MSDN documents all exceptions that can be raised from BCL functions". Unfortunately I have found that this isn't the case.
So often I have encountered exceptions being thrown from a BCL method (and from the wider FCL) that are not documented in the MSDN docs. And I have come encountered situations where the exception was documented, but the specific reason for it being thrown as not documented. (These are errors of ommision. Errors of commision - the docs say that an exception is thrown, but it isn't - also exist. However, I do believe that these have been rooted out of the docs by now. The .NET 1.x docs for System.IO.File.Exists is an example of an error of commision.)
Here are some entries I've made on Microsoft Connect on this subject:-
A few years ago I mentioned to a former BCL team member that the docs for the System.IO namespace don't list all the exceptions and exception reasons. He agreed, but said it would be virtually impossible for it to be done with any reasonable degree of completeness.
Now, if a BCL method's docs fail to include an exception that can be thrown, this is going to have a knock-on effect. It's going to adversely affect the docs for other BCL methods, FCL methods, 3rd-party library / component methods, etc. that use it.
What this all leads up to is this:- when I call a method, I have learned from bitter experience to regard the docs for that method to be potentially incomplete wrt the exceptions that it can throw. So how can I, with confidence, write a catch handler for each individual exception that that method is going to throw?
I agree that with a method in a library or component or framework, it's best to not catch System.Exception. Let the exception percolate to the calling app. But in the top-level application itself? I think that's a different matter. Say I have a WinForms app that wants to delete a file or folder that the user no longer needs. I call the appropriate Delete method. I catch System.Exception, and in the catch handler I could ignore the error, log it to file, or throw up a message box. In the latter two cases I log the exception's message so that the user can see what the error is. Is this so bad? Remember that I'm wary that the docs don't list all the possible exceptions. Why should I take the chance that an undocumented (and thus unknown) exception crashes out the whole app just because an unimportant file didn't get deleted?
On more thing: Yes, when you catch System.Exception in your code you're also potentially catching system failure / corrupted state exceptions, and that's not good. Simply logging these and carrying on in your app (app, not library!) isn't good. But you know what? In the seven years I've been programming .NET, I've never, ever seen one been logged or tossed up on screen in a message box. They are incredibly rare, simply because the .NET CLR is so good at preventing them from happening in the first place.
So I'm conflicted. I agree with your advice in theory, and certainly agree with it in practice for libraries. But for apps? Hmmm. For apps, I'd be so much more ready to follow your advice on never catching System.Exception if I knew that I could rely on the docs.
What started as a personal goal to motivate me to post more frequently has reached a milestone – one year! Looking back I realize that I never quite explained what these posts have been about. The intention of the Weekly Web Nuggets was twofold – to share
There have been couple of comments on this post that mention need to report the exception state to their own error reporting system without resorting to Windows Error Reporting (WER) for various reasons. Hence, they "need" to do a catch (Exception ex) at the top-level handler, else such an oppurtunity would be lost.
I am bit surprised to hear this being a use-case for catch(Exception ex) pattern since when an exception goes unhandled, the CLR will deliver the AppDomain.UnhandledException event that can be used for this very purpose (of custom exception reporting) without requiring an application to catch exceptions it has no idea about.
Was this approach considered over catch(Exception ex)?
Gaurav Khanna
Dev, CLR Team.
@Andrew Thank you for your considered responses to our comments. I was unaware that developers could sign up for access to their application logs and I agree that a blog post on the WER would be valuable. I will save futher comments on this subject until then ;-)
@Gaurav Hmmm... you are quite right, we actually use AppDomain.UnhandledException and Application.ThreadException to catch unhandled exceptions. We don't put a catch-all in every thread entry point, which would be tedious to maintain. The effect is the same, but the mechanism is far more elegant.
Yesterday I said that it isn't the case that MSDN documents all exceptions that can be raised by BCL/FCL methods. Today I went looking for an example in the docs for .NET 3.5... and found one inside of 60 seconds.
According to the very latest documentation for System.Xml.XmlDocument.Save(String):-
the method can only throw XmlException!
Hello? What if the filename is null, or empty, or too long, or contains invalid chars? What if the folder doesn't exist? What if the file is inaccessible or read-only? What if there are IO errors during writing?
This sort of doc error is very common. I raised the problem of widespread errors of ommission of raised exceptions in the MSDN docs on Ladybug in 2005. Not much has improved since.
In an app, how I can follow the directive to only catch those exceptions that the method could throw (and never catch System.Exception) when I know for a fact that the docs omit certain exceptions?
(BTW: I've yet to read the MSDN Magazine article - I plan to soon - but on the face it, having a mechanism that separates the system failure exceptions from the rest sounds like an EXCELLENT idea!)
The problem with AppDomain.UnhandledException is that it still lets the program "crash", which invokes Watson. As has been pointed out several times already, Watson is ugly and "scary" to users, and magnifies the feeling that the application is unstable and not fully supported by the people who created it ("They want me to report the error to Microsoft? What can Microsoft do about it? Why aren't they letting me report the error to them directly?").

Siemens Sends Do-Not-Fly Order For Pipistrel's All-Electric Channel Crossing 85 85
An anonymous reader links to Flyer's coverage of a squabble that seems to feature the aircraft giant Airbus aiming bad sportsmanship in the form of corporate pull against much smaller light aircraft maker Pipistrel, thereby "squashing the ambitions of light aircraft maker Pipistrel to be the first to fly an electric aircraft across the English Channel." Though Pipistrel acquired the flight permissions it anticipated needing in connection with its announced ambition to cross the channel, they've been grounded by allegedly underhanded means: Siemens, which supplies the electric motor used in the craft which was to make the journey, contacted Pipistrel to prohibit over-water flight with that motor (partly German). U.S. Pipistrel dealer Michael Coates believes he knows why (as quoted by Flyer): "Airbus managed to flex their muscle with Siemens who are supplying motors to Pipistrel and have the Pipistrel motor agreement immediately terminated," he said. "The Airbus E-Fan project does not use Siemens motors but it does have Siemens stickers over the side of their aircraft.

Publisher's Description
Throughout America's history, the House has played a central role in shaping the nation's destiny. In this incomparable single-volume history, distinguished historian Robert V. Remini traces the institution from a struggling, nascent body to the venerable powerhouse it has become since America's rise on the world stage. The essential drama of democracy—the struggle between principle and pragmatism—is showcased throughout the book, and through it the history of America's successful experiment with democracy unfurls.
Author Bio
Robert V. Remini is professor of history emeritus and research professor of humanities emeritus at the University of Illinois at Chicago and historian of the United States House of Representatives. He is the winner of the National Book Award for the third volume of his study of Andrew Jackson, and he lives in Wilmette, Illinois.
Editorial Reviews
"[T]he very best volume of its kind thus far presented to the vast constituency of the House."
On Daniel Webster: the Man and His Times:"A splendid addition to [Remini's] highly regarded books"
On Andrew Jackson and his Indian Wars: "An exuberant history in the great storytelling tradition."

Friday, 13 May 2011Michael just called our office. He's a veteran, in his words "100% disabled," and working hard to recover from his battle experiences. He picked up the phone and called to ask us if we could spare a few copies of one of our brochures, "Coping with Stress." Michael doesn't remember how he got the dog-eared copy he already has; he just knows that it has been helpful to him. He's tired of going twice a month to a group session where they just talk. He wants to take action.
"It's not a pretty room" he said, "and not a nice town."
He asked the group leaders once, "do you like your job?" and they answered "No".
"Well why are you doing it?" he asked them, but they didn't have an answer.
Understandably, Michael is angry. He has chosen to transform his anger over the injustice of serving his country and then feeling abandoned to his disabilities, into action.
Michael, your call touched me. I am honored that I can pack up a small box of materials to send you, and hope that our contribution will help your group.

The second book from Frisch & Co. has just been released— Under this Terrible Sun by Carlos Busqued and translated by Megan McDowell.
Cetarti spends his days in a cloud of pot smoke, watching nature documentaries on television. A call from a stranger, informing him that his mother and brother have been murdered, finally tears him from his lethargy: he must identify the bodies. After making sure he has enough pot for the trip, he sets out to the remote Argentinian village of Lapachito, an ominous place, where the houses are sinking deeper and deeper into the mud and a lurid, horrific sun is driving everyone crazy. When Duarte, a former military man turned dedicated criminal, ropes Cetarti into a scheme to cash in on his mother's life insurance, events quickly spiral out of control. . .
A riveting, thrilling, and shocking read, Under This Terrible Sun paints the portrait of a civilizational in terminal decline, where the border between reality and nightmare has become increasingly blurred.
This is only available as an ebook, which you can purchase via the Frisch & Co. website or from your favorite ebook retailer.
And as with La Vida Doble, we should have a review of this up in the not too distant future.

Mahasweta Devi is not only one of the most prolific Bengali authors, but she's also an important activist. In fact, for Devi, the two seem to go together. As you can probably tell from the titles, she writes about women. . .

Since its inception in 2004, NCWIT has successfully attracted the support of corporations, foundations, and the government to help it achieve its mission of increasing women's participation in IT. In part it's because these organizations recognize the importance of diversity in computer science and IT; and in part it's because we strive to operate with an efficient and strategic business model, one that will provide funders with return on their investment.
The University of Illinois department of computer science is hosting an international video game development competition, designed specifically for aspiring female video game developers. The Games4Girls contest invites teams of college-aged women to develop video games for their high school counterparts.
Every organization, whether for- or non-profit, lives for the success story: the testimonial from a happy client or customer served that tells you in first-hand terms how effective and influential your organization has been. In rare cases, you might hear that you've been integral in helping a person make significant and positive changes; in even rarer cases, you cause a person to shed tears of joy.
In honor of this Veteran's Day, here's a post about women and IT in the Navy. We are grateful to all the men and women who protect and serve our country.
The 2009 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women and Computing last month in Tucson, Arizona, was a great place to get the real pulse of women in computing, and to meet other women involved in computer science.
