'Vb.Net program to demonstrate the ArgumentException.

Imports System.IO

Module Module1
    Class Sample
        Shared Function DivideNumberByTwo(ByVal num As Integer) As Integer
            If (num Mod 2 <> 0) Then
                Throw New ArgumentException(String.Format("{0} is not an even number", num), "num")
            End If
            Return num / 2
        End Function

    End Class

    Sub Main()
        Try
            Sample.DivideNumberByTwo(5)
        Catch ex As ArgumentException
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub
End Module

Output

5 is not an even number
Parameter name: num

Explanation

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains a Sample class and a Main() function.

The Sample class contains a Shared method DivideNumberByTwo(), In the DivideNumberByTwo() method, we checked the value of the argument is an even number or not. If the argument contains an odd value then we throw argument exception explicitly.
