C# noob question…
I’m taking a few arguments in a class constructor to initialize some private variables. What should I do when the data passed in is not what I expect (wrong string length, numbers out of expected range, nonexisting path, stuff like that..)? Throw an exception? Add “everything went ok” flag?
how is it usually done?
Throw an ArgumentException.
