12-Oct-2023In .NET Core (and C#), exceptions are not explicitly categorized as "checked" or "unchecked" as they are in some other programming languages like Java. Instead, exceptions are generally divided into two broad categories: "checked exceptions" and "unchecked exceptions." However, this terminology is not commonly used in the .NET ecosystem. Here's an explanation of these two categories:
Checked Exceptions (Common in Java):
Unchecked Exceptions (Common in .NET):
In summary, the terms "checked exceptions" and "unchecked exceptions" are more commonly associated with the Java programming language and are not a standard part of the terminology used in .NET Core or C#. In .NET, all exceptions can be caught and handled, but there is no specific language feature to enforce handling or declaration of exceptions in method signatures as is the case with checked exceptions in Java. Instead, best practices in .NET revolve around handling exceptions effectively and preventing them through good coding practices.
