Question

I traditionally deploy a set of web pages which allow for manual validation of core application functionality. One example is LoggerTest.aspx which generates and logs a test exception. I’ve always chosen to raise a DivideByZeroException using an approach similar to the following code snippet:

try {    int zero = 0;    int result = 100 / zero; } catch (DivideByZeroException ex) {    LogHelper.Error('TEST EXCEPTION', ex); } 

The code works just fine but I feel like there must be a more elegant solution. Is there a best way to raise an exception in C#?

try {   throw new DivideByZeroException(); } catch (DivideByZeroException ex) {   LogHelper.Error('TEST EXCEPTION', ex); }
