Smarter Error Handling in C#: Try, Result and Fewer Tears
Exceptions are powerful for diagnostics but expensive in tight loops and high traffic code. This post explains what the runtime does when you throw, why that cost adds up, and when exceptions are the right tool. You will see small, runnable C# examples that model expected failures with Try, Result and tuples, plus a minimal API that returns HTTP results without throwing. We will also cover a micro tip for library authors to keep fast paths fast.
