Throwing ArgumentNullException in constructor?

Question

For a constructor with a single parameter, is it OK to throw an ArgumentNullException inside the constructor if the parameter is null/empty? OR, should it be thrown in the m

Answer 1

From what it sounds like, you pass in a parameter into the constructor to be held by the class for use in some other method later on. If you're not actually using the argument in the constructor, you should probably think about moving the argument to be a parameter of the method that's actually using it.
