C# Error CS0724 – A throw statement with no arguments is not allowed in a finally clause that is nested inside the nearest enclosing catch clause

C# Error

CS0724 – A throw statement with no arguments is not allowed in a finally clause that is nested inside the nearest enclosing catch clause

Reason for the Error & Solution

A throw statement with no arguments is not allowed in a finally clause that is nested inside the nearest enclosing catch clause

Example

The following example generates CS0724 because of the throw statement inside the finally clause block:

// CS0724.cs  
using System;  
  
class Program
{
    static void Test()
    {
        try
        {
            throw new Exception();
        }
        catch
        {
            try
            {
            }
            finally
            {
                throw; // CS0724
            }
        }
    }

    static void Main()
    {
    }
}
