Is there a difference between "throw" and "throw ex"?
08:39 08 Apr 2009

There are some posts that asks what the difference between those two are already.
(why do I have to even mention this...)

But my question is different in a way that I am calling "throw ex" in another error god-like handling method.

public class Program {
    public static void Main(string[] args) {
        try {
            // something
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            HandleException(ex);
        }
    }

    private static void HandleException(Exception ex) {
        if (ex is ThreadAbortException) {
            // ignore then,
            return;
        }
        if (ex is ArgumentOutOfRangeException) { 
            // Log then,
            throw ex;
        }
        if (ex is InvalidOperationException) {
            // Show message then,
            throw ex;
        }
        // and so on.
    }
}

If try & catch were used in the Main, then I would use throw; to rethrow the error. But in the above simplied code, all exceptions go through HandleException

Does throw ex; has the same effect as calling throw when called inside HandleException?
