Remarks

This class is used to help differenciate between exceptions raised by VBCorLib and the executing application. Instead of directly instantiating an ApplicationException object, a new class should be derived from ApplicationExceptionBase to easily specify the exception type.

ApplicationException uses the HResult COR_E_APPLICATION, which is &H80131600.
