URI无效时应该抛出哪个异常？

Question

I am currently writing some configuration classes. One of them has a property of type URI.

Within the setter, I am using Uri.IsWellFormedUriString() to validate the Uri. In case validation fails I'd like to raise an appropriate exception.

Which one would you suggest? Basically I am an advocacy of exceptions which have self-explaining names, like, in this case something like "UriMalformedException", but I am also an advocacy of not cluttering up namespaces with trivial types.

Answer 1

Probably https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/System.UriFormatException(v=VS.110).aspx

UriFormatException Class

OR

Create your own exception and throw that.

Answer 2

I guess I'll follow your proposal, rmn36, although it is not PCL compatible. Throwing an exception and catching another one ( UriFormatException vs. FormatException ) kind of has a "smell" to me, but still...

Thank you anyway.
