what is a best practice in cases such as this one:

try
{
   // do something
}
catch (SpecificException ex)
{
    Response.Redirect("~/InformUserAboutAn/InternalException/");
}

the warning i get is that ex is never used.

however all i need here is to inform the user, so i don't have a need for it.

do i just do:

try
{
   // do something
}
catch
{
    Response.Redirect("~/InformUserAboutAn/InternalException/");
}

somehow i don't like that, seems strange!!? any tips? best practices?

what would be the way to handle this.

thnx
