Argument Null Exception occurred
Press any key to continue . . .

Explanation

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains a Sample class and a Main() function.

The Sample class contains a method PrintData(), In the PrintData() method, we passed filename as an argument and read data and print data on the console screen.

The Main() function is the entry point for the program. Here, we passed 'Nothing" in place of argument then ArgumentNullException will be generated and then we printed the appropriate message on the console screen.
