I would just like to point out that you are not returning the original exception as an inner exception - best practice dictates that you should NEVER destroy the original exception - ALWAYS include it as an inner exception.  It seems that your model can do it, your example simply doesn't.

That's because in my examples, I'm throwing exceptions out of the blue. I'm not just catching and rethrowing.

I'll show in an example:

public void DoSomethingWith(string myArgument){

 if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(myArgument)){

   throw NewException.WithMessage("My Argument must be filled!".Because("My method needs to do something with it!").WithWorkaround("pass in a valid non-empty string").Of<InvalidOperationException>();

 }

 //Do something

}

You can see that in this scenario I don't mean to actually "repackage" an exception. That's why you're not FORCED to include an inner exception (and that doesn't happen with regular throws as well).

Thank you very much for your comment, though!

Happy Coding!

It's been only 2 days after I first implemented my new exception throwing mechanism , and I already feel

Hi,

How'd you get around the implicit conversion problem?

From memory that failed for me, i.e., attempting to throw the ExceptionBuilder failed, even though I implemented conversion operator.

Also, I'm using Activator to instantiate the exceptions, I guess the performance penalty is minor given that we're already in the context of an exception...(?)

I'm sorry Ben, I'm not sure about what Implicit conversion problem you mean.

I just return a new exception with whatever type you specified in the Of<ExceptionType> clause.

I'm also using Activator, and I am PRETTY sure it doesn't matter. I read last month a comparison of creating like 1 million instances with Activator and it takes like 3 seconds to create a million (or something like that).

Cheers,

Hi again,

So does Of explicitly return an Exception?

I tried doing it by having my ExceptionBuilder <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmsdn.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Flibrary%2Fz5z9kes2(VS.71).aspx&ei=6QUkSLegN6aM0QTQt52qCw&usg=AFQjCNElfsE61TNqK3g46vLPXdFkMmRdhw&sig2=jQ9tXpSFC3n3IzRQlCg2Rw">implicitly</a> convertible to Exception, but throwing it didn't compile.
