Good way but you cannot use it when the expected exception is a generic exception (because Assert.Fail() will also raise this kind of exception)

Actually, I just realize I can’t get away with grouping them into one method. So I still have to create a test method for each argument. However, I can still use your idea to test the exception data.

Thanks!

I stumbled upon your post searching for an alternative to ExpectedException attribute.

This is a great way to test out Exception, especially in my case. My method takes in multiple arguments where each of them has its own check that throws different exception. Using ExpectedException attribute forces me to create a method for each of the argument. With your method, I can group all the try catch blocks into one method.

Thanks for the idea!
