Your point about adding additional data to the exception is a good one. I don’t think it would be very difficult to create something that reads like Throw.WithMessage(“fail”).AndTheData(someData).When(youSuck == true);

if string.IsNullOrEmpty(serverName)
throw new InvalidOperationException(“Server name must be provided.”);

If you’re going to add extra functionality, like logging etc, then it makes more sense, but even then it just feels like a lot of extra wording to remember for something really simple. Maybe that’s just me being out of touch with VS’s autocomplete, but it feels like something that could be a simple method call is becoming a bloated chain of events. Also, from an extendibility POV, what happens if you want to pass other data to the exception? Suddenly, you’re going to need up daisy chain the static methods etc.

Beer to discuss further? Pie tonight?

After all, i would like to say good work.
I pass my journey ti try to do the same think, but no success. Do you think it is possible to share with me your example please?

Thank you
Best regards

Thanks very much.
