ExceptionDescription

This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.

A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument.

We use the word "rename" and not "move", because in the simplified case, there are no namespaces, and there is no "move" then.
