Remarks

ArgumentNullException is thrown when a method is invoked and at least one of the passed arguments is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) but should never be nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

ArgumentNullException behaves identically to ArgumentException. It is provided so that application code can differentiate between exceptions caused by null arguments and exceptions caused by arguments that are not null. For errors caused by arguments that are not null, see ArgumentOutOfRangeException.

For a list of initial property values for an instance of ArgumentNullException, see the ArgumentNullException constructors.
