Use NUnit Assert.Throws method or ExpectedException attribute?

Question

I have discovered that these seem to be the two main ways of testing for exceptions:

Assert.Throws<Exception>(()=>MethodThatThrows());

[ExpectedException(typeof(Exception))]

Which of these would be best? Does one offer advantages over the other? Or is it simply a matter of personal preference?

Answer 1

The first allows you to test for more than one exception, with multiple calls:

Assert.Throws(()=>MethodThatThrows());
Assert.Throws(()=>Method2ThatThrows());

The second only allows you to test for one exception per test function.
