Not so. According to microsoft's guidelines, it depends on the error -
if it's an error that you expect to get often, there should be a return
code to indicate it. This is because of the performance cost of
exceptions.

There are various examples of this, such as Hashtable returning null if
you ask for a non-existent key and string.IndexOf() returning -1 if the
thing you are searching for is not found.
