NotImplementedByDesignException Class

Represents an exception that is thrown to indicate a feature not implemented by design, rather than an oversight or future development placeholder. This exception specifically denotes that the lack of implementation is a deliberate decision by the developers for the current release.

Syntax

public class NotImplementedByDesignException : System.Exception

Remarks

Use this exception to clearly signal that certain functionality or features are intentionally excluded from the current implementation. It aids in distinguishing between missing features due to design choices versus those pending future development or oversight.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to use the NotImplementedByDesignException to indicate a feature not supported by design.

public class FeatureHandler
{
public void ExecuteFeature()
{
throw new NotImplementedByDesignException("ExecuteFeature is not supported in this version.");
}
}
