Exceptions

Exception Description

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	A `null` reference (`Nothing` in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument. This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.

System.ArgumentNullException

A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument.

This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.

Remarks

Two node descriptors match if any information that is present in both node descriptors is equal. For example, if a node Id in one of the node descriptors is not present (null), a node Id in the other node descriptor can be anything, or also not present. But if a node Id is present in both node descriptors, it must be the same node Id. Same rules apply to the browse path portion of the node descriptor.
