I have several C# methods that I want to wrap in a try-catch block. Each function will have the same logic for the catch. Is there an elegant way to add a decorator to each of these functions so they are all wrapped with the same try/catch block? I don't want to add the try/catch block to all of these functions.
Example:
public void Function1(){
   try {
     do something
   }catch(Exception e) {
      //a BUNCH of logic that is the same for all functions
   }
}
public void Function2() {
   try {
     do something different
   }catch(Exception e) {
      //a BUNCH of logic that is the same for all functions
   }
}
                What about some functional solution to this? Notice I don't swallow exceptions and use throw; statement, that will re-throw exception keeping its original stack trace. Don't silently swallow exceptions - it's considered to be a very bad practice and the debugging code gets horrible.
void Main()
{
    WrapFunctionCall( () => DoSomething(5));
    WrapFunctionCall( () => DoSomethingDifferent("tyto", 4));
}
public void DoSomething(int v){ /* logic */}
public void DoSomethingDifferent(string v, int val){ /* another logic */}
public void WrapFunctionCall(Action function) 
{
    try
    {
        function();
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
         //a BUNCH of logic that is the same for all functions
         throw;
    }
}
If you need to return some value, the signature for WrapFunctionCall method will change
void Main()
{
    var result = WrapFunctionCallWithReturn( () => DoSomething(5));
    var differentResult = WrapFunctionCallWithReturn( () => DoSomethingDifferent("tyto", 4));
}
public int DoSomething(int v){ return 0; }
public string DoSomethingDifferent(string v, int val){ return "tyto"; }
public T WrapFunctionCallWithReturn<T>(Func<T> function) 
{
    try
    {
        return function();
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        //a BUNCH of logic that is the same for all functions
        throw;
    }
}
