Returning Friendly System.ArgumentException messages

[colin81]

Hi All

Is it possible to throw a friendly error when a Function is called with the incorrect datatypes or missing values?

For example if a user invoked a web method located on a web service which only excepted a value which was of datatype date with a value of 'bob' how could I get a friendly message to be returned instead of an exception? I know I could except all arguments as string and then convert/validate them but is there an other way?

Many Thanks
Colin

put the calling statement in a try block:

Try
  DoFunction("Bob")
Catch e as Exception
  'put code here to display error in your own way
  'or define a new exception w/ your custom message and
  'throw it with:
  'Throw(new MyCustomException())
End Try
