Name
ArgumentException
Synopsis
This exception indicates that illegal data was passed to a
method or constructor call. Note that illegal data is entirely
contextual — the data may be a legitimate .NET value, but inappropriate
for the use in question. Although .NET languages are type-safe in that you can’t pass
a string as a parameter when an integer is expected, there
is nothing to keep you from passing a null or invalid value, such
as sending (2001
, 13
, 32)
to DateTime
’s
constructor. However, there is no 32nd day of the 13th month of
the year 2001, and if you try to initialize such a date, you’ll
get an exception.
The ArgumentException
class
(or one of its subclasses, ArgumentNullException
or ArgumentOutOfRangeException
)
indicates that a method argument violated such a constraint.
If you need to implement this exception in your own code,
consider using one of its subclasses instead, since they
represent common argument exceptions.
