The rule is reporting when an exception is thrown from certain methods and constructors. These methods are expected to behave in a specific way and
throwing an exception from them can lead to unexpected behavior and break the calling code.
public override string ToString()
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Name))
{
throw new ArgumentException(nameof(Name)); // Noncompliant
}
//...
}
An issue is raised when an exception is thrown from any of the following:
Exceptions
Certain exceptions will be ignored in specific contexts, thus not raising the issue:
-
System.NotImplementedException and its derivatives are ignored for all the aforementioned.
-
System.InvalidOperationException, System.NotSupportedException, and System.ArgumentException and their
derivatives are ignored in event accessors.
