C# Webinar IV – Exception Handling, Debugging, and Robust Programs

Duration: 3 Hours
Level: Early Intermediate
Format: Live Human Online Webinar with Guided Labs
IDE Used: Visual Studio


Webinar Schedule (3 Hours)

Session 1: Understanding Errors and Exceptions in C#

  • What exceptions are and why they exist

  • Compile-time vs runtime errors

  • Common .NET exception types

  • Reading and understanding stack traces

Lab 1:

  • Trigger common C# exceptions intentionally

  • Interpret exception messages and stack traces

  • Identify root causes of failures


Session 2: Handling Exceptions Gracefully

  • Using try, catch, and finally

  • Handling invalid input and unexpected conditions

  • Preventing crashes and improving user feedback

  • Writing meaningful error messages

Lab 2:

  • Add exception handling to existing programs

  • Validate inputs and protect application flow

  • Keep applications running safely


Session 3: Debugging and Building Robust Applications

  • Debugging tools in Visual Studio

  • Setting breakpoints and stepping through code

  • Inspecting variables and runtime state

  • Improving reliability and maintainability

Lab 3:

  • Debug a multi-step .NET application

  • Refactor code to improve robustness

  • Test edge cases and failure scenarios


Webinar Description

C# Webinar IV focuses on building reliable, production-ready .NET Core applications. In this hands-on session, participants learn how to diagnose errors, handle exceptions cleanly, and debug applications effectively using professional tools.

Rather than avoiding errors, this webinar teaches how to anticipate, understand, and manage them. Labs are built around realistic failure scenarios so learners gain confidence troubleshooting problems and strengthening application stability.

All development and debugging is performed in Visual Studio, reinforcing workflows used in professional .NET environments.


Lab & Exercise Structure

Each lab is:

  • Instructor-guided with live explanation

  • Based on real-world failure scenarios

  • Focused on understanding root causes

  • Built and debugged in Visual Studio

Lab code serves as reusable reference material for future projects.


Who This Webinar Is For

  • Attendees of C# Webinars I–III

  • Developers frustrated by unclear runtime errors

  • Professionals writing production-style .NET code

  • Anyone wanting more reliable applications


What You’ll Gain

  • Confidence reading and fixing C# exceptions

  • Understanding of structured error handling

  • Practical debugging skills in Visual Studio

  • Ability to write more resilient .NET applications


Other C# Webinars

This webinar focuses on application stability and reliability.
Additional C# webinars expand on this foundation by covering:

  • File I/O and persistence

  • Working with databases

  • ASP.NET Core web applications

  • Preparing .NET applications for deployment

C# Webinar IV marks the transition from “it works” code to professional-grade .NET development.
