| Jun 1, 2011 at 10:53 | comment | added | user225312 | But if I don't want to handle the specific exception in a different way, is using the base exception class all right? | |
| Jun 1, 2011 at 10:52 | comment | added | Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams | Because you may want to handle the derived exception in a different way from the base exception. | |
| Jun 1, 2011 at 10:50 | comment | added | user225312 | But why catch the derived one at all, when the base can handle everything? | |
