How to declare a variable outside of a try catch and for each loop

exception handlingI am a newbie writing code for my c# class. We have to display exception handling but I ran into a red squiggly on my "lines" variable in my for each loop because I put a try catch around the method i declared lines in. How do I fix this? Thanks in advance!

I tried looking for similar issues on other forum with no luck.

>Solution :

You can declare the variable lines before try block, like this:

string[] lines = new string[0];
try {
   lines = File.ReadAllText(txtFile);
}
catch (Exception e) {
//....
}

//...

foreach (var line in lines) {
//...
}
