Property getters should be simple operations that are always safe to call. If exceptions need to be thrown, it is best to convert the property to a
method.
It is valid to throw exceptions from indexed property getters and from property setters, which are not detected by this rule.
Noncompliant code example
Module Module1
Public Property Foo() As Integer
Get
Throw New Exception ' Non-Compliant
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Integer)
' ... some code ...
End Set
End Property
End Module
Compliant solution
Module Module1
Sub SetFoo(ByVal value As Integer) ' Compliant
' ... some code ...
End Sub
End Module
Exceptions
No issue is raised when the thrown exception derives from or is of type NotImplementedException, NotSupportedException or
InvalidOperationException.
