Question: Can I use try/catch block to control program flow? Will it affect program performance?

Answer: Try/catch block itself does not add much overhead to your program. Handling of thrown exception can be expensive.
Use try/catch block only for error handling, not to control program flow. Especially try to avoid placing within loops.
