It is worth mentioning here. You can respond to the multiple combinations (Exception error and exception.message).

I ran into a use case scenario when trying to cast control object in a datagrid, with either content as TextBox, TextBlock or CheckBox. In this case the returned Exception was the same, but the message varied.

try
{
 //do something
}
catch (Exception ex) when (ex.Message.Equals("the_error_message1_here"))
{
//do whatever you like
} 
catch (Exception ex) when (ex.Message.Equals("the_error_message2_here"))
{
//do whatever you like
}
