Do this will call finally?

Question

suppose that i have this code. if exception is InvalidData, do this will call finally to clean resources.

while(CanWork){
            try
            {
                 ....
            }
            catch (InvalidDataException e)
            {
                LogAction(false, e.Message, e.StackTrace);
                break;
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                LogAction(false, e.Message, e.StackTrace);
            }
            finally
            {
                if (insta != null)
                {
                    insta.Disconnect();
                    insta.Dispose();
                    insta = null;
                }
            }
          }

"Finally" block will always call, whether you got exception or not. — Deepu Madhusoodanan, Jun 20 '13 at 07:25
i mean in first catch i break the while, and before break will call finally? — Daniel, Jun 20 '13 at 07:28
`using` would probably be a lot easier, note, but simple answer: "yes" — Marc Gravell, Jun 20 '13 at 07:32

Yes it will, but not when it is about to leave the while, but just after the code in the try or catch is done executing.

be careful with "always" - there are a range of scenarios where it won't be; ok, those are pretty pathological scenarios where the process is very sick - but they are genuine. More simply: if the power switches off it won't run `finally` – Marc Gravell Jun 20 '13 at 07:32
@MarcGravell Can you please let me know the all such range of scenarios or refer a link , it will be very very helpful for me – Pawan Jun 20 '13 at 07:35

scenarios involving thread-abort, or fast exit, possibly certain security exceptions or out-of-memory scenarios; things like that - the nasty ones – Marc Gravell Jun 20 '13 at 07:56
