ILGenerator.ThrowException Method

Parameters

• excType
  Type: System.Type
  The class of the type of exception to throw.

' Begin the try/catch/finally block. The label is used to leave the 
' block.
Dim exTryCatchFinally As Label = adderIL.BeginExceptionBlock()

' Load the first argument and the integer value 100 onto the execution
' stack, and test whether the argument is greater than 100. The result is
' now on the execution stack.
'
adderIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0)
adderIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldc_I4_S, 100)
adderIL.Emit(OpCodes.Cgt)

' Test whether the second argument is greater than 100. Both results are
' now on the execution stack.
'
adderIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_1)
adderIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldc_I4_S, 100)
adderIL.Emit(OpCodes.Cgt)

' Perform a logical OR on the two results, and branch to the 'succeeded'
' label if the result is true.
adderIL.Emit(OpCodes.Or)
adderIL.Emit(OpCodes.Brfalse, succeeded)


' If one of the arguments was greater than 100, throw an OverflowException. 
adderIL.ThrowException(overflowType)

' This example uses the ThrowException method, which uses the default 
' constructor of the specified exception type to create the exception. If you
' want to specify your own message, you must use a different constructor; 
' replace the ThrowException method call with code like that shown below,
' which creates the exception and throws it.
'
' Load the message, which is the argument for the constructor, onto the 
' execution stack. Execute Newobj, with the OverflowException constructor
' that takes a string. This pops the message off the stack, and pushes the
' new exception onto the stack. The Throw instruction pops the exception off
' the stack and throws it.
'adderIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldstr, "DoAdd does not accept values over 100.")
'adderIL.Emit(OpCodes.Newobj, _
'             overflowType.GetConstructor(New Type() { GetType(String) }))
'adderIL.Emit(OpCodes.Throw)


' If both arguments are less than or equal to 100, execution continues 
' here.
