Hi all,
I am trying to decide how to best handle exceptions in Business Classes. For
example, there are times when public properties have valid ranges of values
and enumerations are not feasible.
What is the best way to handle these? Throw an exception such as an
ApplicationExce ption? Do you handle it differently if the property will be
bound to UI Control?
Any hints, pointers, or guidance is greatly appreciated!
Cheers,

In the specific example you give, I would use
System.Argument OutOfRangeExcep tion. I would also suggest that you avoid
using ApplicationExce ption. The problem with ApplicationExce ption is that
it's too generic. There's no reasonable case (that I can see) for handling
an ApplicationExce ption any differently than the base Exception class. A
recent post in Brad Abrams' blog points this out (very good blog, btw): http://blogs.msdn.com/brada/archive/.../25/96251.aspx

Daniel,
thanks for the input! I am looking into your suggestion and reading up on
the link.
The one thing I will do is to sure all my exceptions have the same base
class. I have a suspicion the reason Microsoft is recommending using
application exception class is some future change they will make. However,
as pointed out in the blog, as long as they are from the same class the
change is easy to make at that time.
Thanks again!
Cheers,
Knut

Creating a common base class for all your exceptions is certainly your
option, but you should know that the same people who told you to inherit all
your exceptions from a common base class (i.e. ApplicationExce ption) are now
saying don't bother; Inherit from System.Exceptio n instead. Krystof Cwalina
(Program Manager for the .NET CLR) writes:
"Well-designed exception hierarchies are wide, not very deep, and
contain only those exceptions for which there is a programmatic scenario for
catching."
The ApplicationExce ption class isn't about protecting against future
changes. Rather it's a decision the designers of the .NET framework wouldn't
make if they had the chance to do it over again. Hindsight 20-20 and all
that.

I am working through the documentation on interfaces and CollectionBase.
I guess my question was a little broad, but I did receive some pointers to
documentation so I am working through it.
If I have more specific questions I will post in this forum.
Thanks again for following up, though!

So I have a table "Employee" and wish to have a business class "Employee".
This was possible before LINQ. But now that I am generating a .dbml for the
LINQ DataContext, it "takes over" those names for its classes.
I'd hate to have to name my business classes "EmployeeClass" or some other
non-ideal convention.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
