This exception is thrown if you pass an invalid enumeration value to a method or when setting a property.
The following code example shows how to catch an InvalidEnumArgumentException exception and interpret its content. The example attempts to pass an invalid enumeration value (MessageBoxButtons) through casting, as the MessageBox.Show method's third argument. Upon catching the exception, the example fetches the respective error message, the invalid parameter, stack trace, and origin of the exception.
