Why doesn't " Catch(System.Exception ex) " catch all errors of type Exception?

231,198 PointsSince most of the examples of this quiz have cascading catch
clauses, I'm guessing that you're looking at one where a more specific catch
handles the exception instead of the basic System.Exception
clause.
Remember that once any catch
clause condition is met, that clause handles the exception so no other catch
clauses that follow it will be triggered.
If that's not your issue, please provide more information.
