Converting string into exception

Question

I want to convert a string into exception but not able to find any thing on google.

I am using C# .Net 2.0.

Reason is because third party client has a method that is logging method and only takes exception and i have a scenario where i must need to log something but using that method. so must need to convert string into exception.

This should have popped up very, very easily on Google: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.exception.aspx — wilso132

I searched for [exception string C#]. The Exception constructor was the second result returned. — Jim Mischel

Exceptions are created as any other object, using the new keyword. You can provide it a message argument that you can store your string in:

Exception e = new Exception("Your string goes here");

If you are using Try...Catch() then you can do following to add your customize message and original exception together

try{
    //your code block
}
catch(Exception e)
{
    var exception = new Exception("Your message: ");
    //Display "exception" to users
    //Log "e" for further investigation 
}
