What is the cost of try/catch
This article discusses the question about the cost of using try/catch blocks and performace. Take a look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms973839.aspx#dotnetperftips_topic2. There is no cost to try/catch. The only cost is when an exception is thrown, and that is regardless of whether there is a try/catch around it or not.
