C#: does 'throw' exit the current function?

Question

If there is a throw statement in the middle of a function, does the function terminate at this point?

Answer 1

Yes, with the exception of any finally blocks, or if there is an exception handler within the function that can catch the type of exception you're throwing.

Answer 2

Control passes to the next exception handler (catch block) in the call stack, whether that be in the current method or one of its parents. If the throw is not encapsulated in a try/catch block, any finally blocks are executed before a parent catch block is sought.
