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

216,012 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.
