System.DivideByZeroException does not catch exception Messages   Related Types This message was discovered on microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb. Post a new message to this list... Amin Sobati Hi, I have the following code in my app: Dim intx As Integer Dim inty As Integer Dim intz As Integer inty = 0 intx = 5 Try intz = intx / inty Catch ex As System.DivideByZeroException MsgBox("Catch") End Try But System.DivideByZeroException does not catch the exception. If I use System.OverflowException it will work. What's the reason? Thanks, Amin Reply to this message...        Mattias Sjögren [Original message clipped] The reason is that the / operator performs floating point division, which doesn't throw a DivideByZeroException but rather returns NaN or Infinity. If you turn on Option Strict this whould be more visible since converting the result back to an Integer is a narrowing conversion. The solution may be to use the integer division operator \ instead.
