[question] Is there syntactic sugar for asserting the type of exception thrown? about nunit HOT 2 CLOSED

I might be overlooking something, but why do want to test that the result is not null? I would expect to get the same result from using Assert.Throws directly as it fails if the method doesn't throw the expected exception.

So if myDelegate throws TException, then both

Assert.Throws<TException>(myDelegate);

and

Assert.That(Assert.Throws<TException>(myDelegate), Is.Not.Null);

pass successfully.

If the delegate does not throw both fail with

  Expected: <TException>
  But was:  null

and if it is another type of exception both fail with

  Expected: <TException>
  But was:  <AnotherException>

from nunit.

Welp, that's embarrassing. I completely confused how Assert.Throws worked. Thanks for the quick response!
