What is finally?

In C#, the finally block is used together with try-catch to ensure that code is executed regardless of whether an exception occurs or not. The code inside finally always executes — after the try and catch blocks, even if an exception was thrown or a return statement was executed.

This is useful for releasing resources, closing files, database connections, and other cleanup operations.

Example:

try
{
    // Code that might throw an exception
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
    // Exception handling
}
finally
{
    // Code that will run in any case
    // for example, closing a file or releasing resources
}
