I would assume that most User-defined Exceptions are for Business Logic level exceptions, but what are some good reasons to use a User-Defined Exception and what are some good examples?

Is a user-defined exception's only advantage that you can define a consistent Error Message?

What logic can be written inside exceptions to make them truly more useful?

After all, can't you just do this: throw new Exception("Some Error Message");
