I have some code in my error handler I need to test against a realistic error. How can I generate an error that has a full stack trace and is just as realistic as a runtime error.
I am using a general catch on an exception. So do not need a specific type of exception in this particular case.
Thanks
You can throw any kind of .Net exception by calling
throw new OutOfMemoryException();
throw new IndexOutOfRangeException();
throw new ArgumentNullException();
The exception names can be any dotnet exceptions. you can even create and throw your own specific exceptions.
To get a list of the CLR exceptions, in VS click on the debug menu and then the exceptions menu.
One DivideByZeroException coming up!:
int i = 0;
int j = 1 / i;
how about the good old division by zero?
5 / 0
