In the help for "throwing exceptions" > "standard types", it says "Do not throw System.Exception or System.SystemException.". What is the reasoning behind this, and what is it expected that you should throw instead?

For example, normally I might want code similar to the following in much of my error handling logic after doing any error logging and cleanup so the calling logic can do whatever it needs to do in case of error:

throw new System.Exception("Error from MyObject.Whatever()");

or in the middle of a function if something goes wrong I'll want to raise an error with an explanation and jump to the error handler for that function:

throw new System.Exception("Unexpected Spanish Inquisition");

But, the documentation would appear to indicate that I should be doing something else.

Sothere isn'tany actual problem with a System.Exception being used, it is simply that this exception cannot be distinguished from any other System.Exception, right? I am thinking ofa case where thelogic catching the exception doesn't care in any way what the exception is and simply needs to know if there was/wasn't an exception becuaseall exceptions wouldbe handled in exactly the same way (abort whatever was being done, tell the user it was not completed correctly.).

Ok, thanks!
