Yes there is a performance hit when you use try-catch and it needs to be used judicously. Here are some interesting discussions on this topic: http://msmvps.com/blogs/peterritchie/archive/2007/06/22/performance-implications-of-try-catch-finally.aspx http://www.programmersheaven.com/user/pheaven/blog/175-Do-trycatch-blocks-hurt-runtime-performance/

In addition to those links you only want to put try..catch where there is a possibility of exceptions. For example if there is some code like this. string s = mahesh; It would not make sense to put a try..catch around this code.
