Hi I saw your post: The provided code is also simple to use from an Expression Shape and provides a way to throw custom exception of any type with any error message

/// <summary>
/// Provides a way to throw custom exceptions (Targeted for use from BizTalk solutions)
/// </summary>
/// <param name="errorMessage">The Message part of the exception</param>
public static void ThrowException(string errorMessage)
{
throw new Exception(errorMessage);
}
/// <summary>
/// Provides a way to throw any custom exception type (Targeted for use from BizTalk solutions)
/// </summary>
/// <param name="errorMessage">The error message to throw</param>
/// <param name="t">The type of the Exception to throw. Example: typeof(System.ArgumentException)</param>
public static void ThrowException(string errorMessage, Type t)
{
System.Reflection.Assembly excAssembly = t.Assembly;
Object[] args = new Object[1] { errorMessage };
Exception e =(Exception) excAssembly.CreateInstance(t.FullName, false, System.Reflection.BindingFlags.CreateInstance, null, args, null, null);
throw (e);
}

this info saved me from banging my head on the wall.

question: can you expound on step #4? ;-)

thx Chris

btw: Do they burn all BiztTalk developers at Microsoft like witches? If not, I bring the matches and a can of gasoline !
