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. When throwing an ArgumentException a meaningful error message describing the invalid argument, the name of the argument, as well as the expected range of values for the argument should be defined.

New exception classes derived from ArgumentException can be created starting with the ArgumentExceptionBase template class and modifying it accordingly.

ArgumentException uses the HResult COR_E_ARGUMENT, which is &H5.
