You must turn on run-time checking to use the Requires(Of TException) method. If run-time checking is turned off, the process will be terminated. To obtain the tools for runtime checking, see Code Contracts on the MSDN DevLabs Web site. |
This method call must be at the beginning of a method or property, before any other code.
This contract is exposed to clients; therefore, it must only reference members that are at least as visible as the enclosing method.
Use this method instead of the Contract.Requires(Boolean) method when you want to throw an exception if the precondition fails.
