Generic and more specific Guards?

[richardvaldiviesomacias]

Good morning

This is my first time creating a discussion on any repository here on Github, so I apologize in advance if I am not doing this in any particular format.

I was wondering if it is possible to have a generic version of some of the Guard methods. Sometimes I want to throw an exception that is not ArgumentNullException when some value that was created in the body of the code is null. (eg I have an API call and that call returns an invalid email and I want to throw InvalidEmailFormatException)

I was thinking something like:

  public static void IsNotNull<TValue,TException>([NotNull] TValue? value, string name, string message = "must be not null") 

so I can pass a different exception.

Some cases can be cover as well with something more specific like:

        public static void IsNotNull<TValue>([NotNull] TValue? value, string name, string message = "must be not null")
            where TValue : class
        {
            if (value is not null)
            {
                return;
            }

            ThrowHelper.ThrowInvalidOperationException(message);

        }
