Finally AND Return 1

[baddos]

Does anyone know if a Return will still process a finally statement?

If I am in a Try/Catch/Finally Block within a function, will the Finally part get executed if in the Try or Catch part I put a Return statement?

All the books and documentions aren't very clear of this. I have read that a Finally statement will always run, but then it's contricted by a Return statement that always exits the function and stops processing it.

A finally block always executes, even if you return a value.

So... Given this code, if strText will always be = "Finally"?

Try
If 1 = 1 Then
Return "1 is equal to 1"
End If
Catch ex As Exception
Return "Bleh"
Finally
strText = "Finally"
End Try

Why not step through the code to see what happens?

Yep... I tested it and it works. Finally will run before Return.

Thanks!
