Will finally blocks be executed if returning from try or catch blocks

Yes, the finally block is executed however the flow leaves the try block - whether by reaching the end, returning, or throwing an exception.

The return value is determined before the finally block is executed though, so if you did this:

int Test()
{
    int result = 4;
    try
    {
        return result;
    }
    finally
    {
        // Attempt to change value result
        result = 1;
    }
}

the value 4 will still be returned, not 1 .

- the assignment in the finally block will have no effect the return result but it will be executed.

A finally block will always be executed and this will happen before returning from the method, so you can safely write code
