Answer
Flow:
- Throw triggers stack unwinding.
- Search for handlers.
- First-chance and second-chance exceptions.
- finally, fault blocks executed.
- Managed/unmanaged transitions handled by the runtime.
Quick Answer
When an exception is thrown, the CLR unwinds the call stack frame by frame, searching for a matching catch handler. First-chance exceptions are raised before any handler runs (useful for debuggers). Finally and fault blocks always run during unwinding. Unhandled exceptions terminate the process.
