Consider this:

for ( int i=0 ; i < this.MyControl.TabPages.Count ; i++ ) { try { this.MyControl.TabPages.Remove (this.MyControl.TabPages[i] ); i--; } catch(Exception e) { } }

Can this be simplified? If this syntax were used elsewhere in the program, but we didn't want to catch the exception in this particular case, should we copy-paste this, and remove the try block? Might there be a situation where preserving the syntax makes the program clearer?
