Examples

The following example demonstrates how to throw and catch an ArgumentException. It uses the ArgumentException.GetType().Name property to display the name of the exception object, and also uses the Message property to display the text of the exception message.

using namespace System;

static int DivideByTwo(int num) 
{
    // If num is an odd number, throw an ArgumentException.
    if ((num & 1) == 1)
        throw gcnew ArgumentException(String::Format("{0} is not an even number", num), 
                                      "num");

    // num is even, return half of its value.
    return num / 2;
}

void main() 
{
    // Define some integers for a division operation.
    array<int>^ values = { 10, 7 };
    for each (int value in values) {
        try {
           Console::WriteLine("{0} divided by 2 is {1}", value, DivideByTwo(value));
        }
        catch (ArgumentException^ e) {
           Console::WriteLine("{0}: {1}", e->GetType()->Name, e->Message);
        }
        Console::WriteLine();
    }
}
// This example displays the following output:
//     10 divided by 2 is 5
//     
//     ArgumentException: 7 is not an even number
//     Parameter name: num
using System;

public class Example
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Define some integers for a division operation.
        int[] values = { 10, 7 };
        foreach (var value in values) {
            try {
               Console.WriteLine("{0} divided by 2 is {1}", value, DivideByTwo(value));
            }
            catch (ArgumentException e) {
               Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", e.GetType().Name, e.Message);
            }
            Console.WriteLine();
        }
    }

    static int DivideByTwo(int num)
    {
        // If num is an odd number, throw an ArgumentException.
        if ((num & 1) == 1)
            throw new ArgumentException(String.Format("{0} is not an even number", num),
                                      "num");

        // num is even, return half of its value.
        return num / 2;
    }
}
// This example displays the following output:
//     10 divided by 2 is 5
//
//     ArgumentException: 7 is not an even number
//     Parameter name: num
open System

let divideByTwo num =
    // If num is an odd number, throw an ArgumentException.
    if num % 2 = 1 then
        invalidArg "num" $"{num} is not an even number"

    // num is even, return half of its value.
    num / 2;

// Define some integers for a division operation.
let values = [ 10; 7 ]
for value in values do
    try 
        printfn $"{value} divided by 2 is {divideByTwo value}"
    with
    | :? ArgumentException as e ->
        printfn $"{e.GetType().Name}: {e.Message}"
    
    printfn ""

// This example displays the following output:
//     10 divided by 2 is 5
//
//     ArgumentException: 7 is not an even number (Parameter 'num')

Remarks

ArgumentException is thrown when a method is invoked and at least one of the passed arguments does not meet the parameter specification of the called method. The ParamName property identifies the invalid argument.

Most commonly, an ArgumentException is thrown by the common language runtime or another class library and indicates developer error. If you throw an ArgumentException from your code, you should ensure that the exception's Message property includes a meaningful error message that describes the invalid argument and the expected range of values for the argument.

The primary derived classes of ArgumentException are ArgumentNullException and ArgumentOutOfRangeException. These derived classes should be used instead of ArgumentException, except in situations where neither of the derived classes is acceptable. For example, exceptions should be thrown by:

  • ArgumentNullException whenever null is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument.

  • ArgumentOutOfRangeException when the value of an argument is outside the range of acceptable values; for example, when the value "46" is passed as the month argument during the creation of a DateTime.

If the method call does not have any argument or if the failure does not involve the arguments themselves, then InvalidOperationException should be used.

ArgumentException uses the HRESULT COR_E_ARGUMENT, which has the value 0x80070057.

For a list of initial property values for an instance of ArgumentException, see the ArgumentException constructors.

In F#, you can use the invalidArg function to generate and raise an ArgumentException.
