Visual Studio 2010 Code Settings
Is it possible to set visual studio to give a compile error or warning when you are not catching exceptions. For example, If I try to open a connection to a SQL database and do not catch the SqlException that is possible when you invoke the open method, is it possible for Visual Studio to give me a warning or error?
Don't think so...because that is a runtime issue and not the compile-time.
If you are not catching (trapping) the error it should error out.
Oh! Are you asking if you can easily set your compile warning configuration to warn you whenever a sql object/step that could error out does not have a try/catch statement to account for the possibility of an error? Then no, I don't believe so.

That is correct, I use IntelliJ for Java development and it will warn you if you invoke a method that throws an error. It might be because C# does not support checked exceptions. In Java, these are declared using the throws keyword, to specify that a method can throw a particular type of exception that must be handled by the calling code.
