title: C#: Do you raise or throw an exception?
body: <p>I know that this probably doesn't really matter, but I would like to know what is correct.</p>
  
  <p>If a piece of code contains some version of <code>throw new SomeKindOfException()</code>. Do we say that this piece of code can potentially raise an exception? Or throw an exception?</p>
  
  <p>The keyword is <code>throw</code>, so I am kind of leaning towards that, but to raise an exception is also used a lot...</p>
  
  <p>Do they have some sort of different meaning? Does one of them sort of implicate a difference over the other? Or is it just two words meaning exactly the same thing?</p>
