__try __exception __finally MSVC.NET
Author
I was looking up error handling in VS.NET (2002) last night and came across these Microsoft specific error handles __try __exception __finally What are your opinions on them and are they better then try catch() blocks?

It isn't a question of one being better than another. They're used for different things.
try/catch in C++ is used for catching exceptions thrown via "throw".
__try/__except/__finally is for catching stuff like access violations. It works in C as well as in C++.

__try __except __finally are the keywords associated with "structured exception handling" aka "SEH". You can learn about the guts of it here: A Crash Course on theDepths of Win32 Structured Exception Handling. You can learn about the differences between SEH and C++ EH here, Windows' SEH and C++ Exception Handling.
