Is it possible for multiple catch ?

If so

Try ,

Are you looking for something like this :

 try

{

return (Earth)planets[index];
}
catch (InvalidCastException ex)
{
Debug.Write(ex.Message);
}
catch (IndexOutOfRangeException ex)
{
Trace.TraceError(ex.Message);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}


You can create as many catch as you want, but make sure you place the one exception which absorbs the most as last catch. Here Exception as being the base, will absorb all exception, so if you place Exception e as first catch, no other catch block will execute. So I placed Exception ex as the last catch as catches are matched sequentially.
