Unclear "catch (ApplicationException ex)"

[jinek]

Why was it put: "catch (ApplicationException ex)
{
writer.WriteLine("ApplicationException Message: {0}", ex.Message);
}
" and in case there is a reason, why rest of the code was not put in to this try/catch

Thanks for pointing this out, @jinek. This is probably a legacy code example that was written before the guidance that ApplicationException not be caught was issued. I'm especially thankful for your opening this issue, since it led me back to #4870, where I wrote that I'd provide you with guidance for getting started. I failed to do that, and I apologize. I'll add some comments to the original issue on what to do. If you'd still like to work on it, we'd really appreciate your help.
In the meantime, I'll close this issue, since the duplicated ApplicationException is covered by #4870.

Thanks! I'm still in. Don't apologize, take your time. May be it makes sense for you to start a discussion, probably others can take part of your work that you are going to do.
