Catch exception by reference

[rchiu5hk]

I am looking at some articles about catch exception by reference.
I don't know what is the difference from this and my usual way as below.
Could you tell me??

try
{



} catch( exception ex)
{
             textbox1.text=ex.message;
}

In normal C++, catching by value involves slicing. Usually code throws exception that are derived from std::exception. If you catch by value, you lose the derived part of the exception object.

Your code however doesn't appear to be standard C++ but I guess the same reasoning may apply.
