Hi Takeshi,

There is no overload of Show which accepts an Exception as a parameter. You probably want to show the exception's Message property:

try
{
    string[] names =new string[2];
    string g =names[2];
}
catch(Exception error) 
{
   
MessageBox.Show(error.Message);
}
// Index was outside the bounds of the array.
Or possibly call ToString, which will typically provide you
with a little more information than just the Message:
try
{
    string[] names =new string[2];
    string g =names[2];
}
catch(Exception error) 
{
   
MessageBox.Show(error.ToString());
}
