Types of Exception

There are the following 2 types of exceptions:

1. System Exception.
2. Application Exception.

Application Exception

An exception that is raised explicitly by the programmer in the application on its own condition is an “Application Exception”.

It can also referred to as a “User Defined Exception”.

Public override string Message

{

For example:
