Visual Basic Try/Catch Oddities

I'm reacquainting myself with Visual Basic.  However at this point I'm seeing some strange behavior.  I'll quickly navigate around it but I just find it odd, take a look for yourself:

Vb Exception Oddities

What seems very strange to me is that you can see very clearly that on line 1041, System.FormatException is being caught, however the exception is never caught.

I'm wondering if it has to due with the multiple statements all in one line?  Any thoughts?

Actually yes, the error reported (System.FormatException) was not the error being thrown under the covers. I don't know why it was being reported that way. I don't want to rush and say it's a bug since I'm not all up on the way Visual Basic works, however it was a little misleading in it's message about what the error actually was.
