Common Exception Classes in .NET

Common Exception Classes:

The following exceptions are thrown by certain C# operations.

System.OutOfMemoryException	Thrown when an attempt to allocate memory (via new) fails.
System.OutOfMemoryException	Thrown when the execution stack is exhausted by having too many pending method calls; typically indicative of very deep or unbounded recursion.
System.NullReferenceException	Thrown when a null reference is used in a way that causes the referenced object to be required.
System.TypeInitializationException	Thrown when a static constructor throws an exception, and no catch clauses exists to catch in.
System.InvalidCastException	Thrown when an explicit conversion from a base type or interface to a derived types fails at run time.
System.ArrayTypeMismatchException	Thrown when a store into an array fails because the actual type of the stored element is incompatible with the actual type of the array.
System.IndexOutOfRangeException	Thrown when an attempt to index an array via an index that is less than zero or outside the bounds of the array.
System.MulticastNotSupportedException	Thrown when an attempt to combine two non-null delegates fails, because the delegate type does not have a void return type.
System.ArithmeticException	A base class for exceptions that occur during arithmetic operations, such as DivideByZeroException and OverflowException.
System.DivideByZeroException	Thrown when an attempt to divide an integral value by zero occurs.
System.OverflowException	Thrown when an arithmetic operation in a checked context overflows.
