The parameterCount function lets you communicate that an exception has occurred when an invalid number of arguments have been passed to a function. The message argument enables you to specify additional error information.

Example

                        var err = Error.parameterCount("Invalid number of parameters attempted.");

                    alert("No error occured.");
            }

        // Result: A Thrown Sys.ParameterCountException with the following message:
