Rethrowing try-catch in for loop

Question

I have a for loop that contains a try-catch block:

for ..
{
   try
           {
                ...
           }
   catch (Exception ex)
           {
               throw ex;
           }
}

Now, if I will re-throw an exception and will catch it in the calling method, will the program continue from the next iteration? (after the external catch block).

TY!

No it will not. With throw you leave the current method (if you don't catch it in this method), so it is like a return. If you catch the Exception in an outer method, the program will continue with the outer method:

private void innerMethod()
{
    try 
    {
        throw;
    }
    catch
    {
        throw;
    }
    someMethodThatWillNotBeExecuted();
}

public void outerMethod()
{
    try 
    {
        innerMethod();
    }
    catch
    {
        thisWillBeExecuted();
    }
    thisWillAlsoBeExecuted();
}
