c# - Pattern to avoid nested try catch blocks?

Consider a situation where I have three (or more) ways of performing a calculation, each of which can fail with an exception. In order to attempt each calculation until we find one that succeeds, I have been doing the following:

double val;

try { val = calc1(); }
catch (Calc1Exception e1)
{ 
    try { val = calc2(); }
    catch (Calc2Exception e2)
    {
        try { val = calc3(); }
        catch (Calc3Exception e3)
        {
            throw new NoCalcsWorkedException();
        }
    }
}

Is there any accepted pattern which achieves this in a nicer way? Of course I could wrap each calculation in a helper method which returns null on failure, and then just use the ?? operator, but is there a way of doing this more generally (i.e. without having to write a helper method for each method I want to use)? I've thought about writing a static method using generics which wraps any given method in a try/catch and returns null on failure, but I'm not sure how I would go about this. Any ideas?

As far as possible, don't use exceptions for control flow or unexceptional circumstances.

But to answer your question directly (assuming all the exception-types are the same):

Func<double>[] calcs = { calc1, calc2, calc3 };

foreach(var calc in calcs)
{
   try { return calc(); }
   catch (CalcException){  }
} 

throw new NoCalcsWorkedException();
