OK, I admit it this code will just look weird to you, and that's because it is weird. This is just code to reproduce the behavior, not code I want to use.

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(Func<int>), new object[] { new object(), IntPtr.Zero });
        }
        catch
        {
            Console.WriteLine("This won't print!");
        }

        Console.Write("Actually this will not print either!");
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

No matter what exception type I try to catch (the actual exception thrown is an ArgumentException as far as I can tell) the code inside the catch block will not execute. Actually execution will just stop at the Activator.CreateInstance-line.
