[Mono-devel-list] Raising Finer Grained Exceptions

I have a quick question regarding the manner in which exceptions are
thrown when developing for Mono vs. Microsoft .NET.  I am working on
porting a number of classes that document that they will only throw a
few exception types, but upon inspecting them with .NET Reflector,
they indeed can throw more than those that are documented.

In addition, I’d like to know if I am able to throw additional
exceptions as I see fit, such as InvalidArgumentException and
ArgumentOutOfRangeException, even if Microsoft’s code does not.  I
know ideally we’re trying to mirror everything in a consistent
manner, however in a lot of cases, Microsoft’s implementation is
lacking and it is hard for the anal side of me to not write something
more robust than what they’ve provided.

Thanks,

Jason
