No, because there are no checked exceptions in C#

If you are trying to document exceptions that are thrown, use the standard xml documentation

/// <exception cref="InvalidOperationException">Why it's thrown.</exception>

I noticed that the text I write in the exception element is not shown next to the exception in the Intellisense popup for the method. Do you know where it shows up? – jbb Jul 26 '17 at 14:21

No. There is no such construct in c#. But you can add the comment to your method like this /// <exception cref="Exception"></exception> and it will be visible in IntelliSense

i am talking about throws keyword – Apr 20 '11 at 07:11
throw keyword is used to throw exception itself like "throw new Exception()". And exception is raised – fedotoves Apr 20 '11 at 07:12

Unfortunately there isn't, and it can be a pain. The remedy is to be more careful with the exceptions that your code throws and how you handle errors.
