I have a (hopefully) simple question. In a nutshell, as a C++ developer, various people hammered into my brain that throwing an exception in a constructor (whether intentionally or by performing some action which would cause an exception to be thrown) was extremely bad. However, my research seems to indicate that .NET handles constructors differently, allowing developers to perform actions in a constructor that may result in exceptions being thrown, or to <gasp> even throw an exception themselves.
