Hello group,<br />
<br />
I'm reading some input file (text) where I have to parse and tokenzie some data. In order to extract a field such as<br />
applicant-id I have used:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;trans.applicant_id = arData[x].Substring(0, 10);<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; <br />
which works fine as long as there is a valid value for applicant id in the text file like:<br />
<br />
application id 0123456789<br />
<br />
however, if I receive file without the value then I will run into exception error since I have put the code in a try/catch block.<br />
<br />
What should I do (using if statement) in order not to get into exception when value doesn't exist.<br />
<br />
Regards<br />

question on C# and exception

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
