== Why is this an issue?

``++NotImplementedException++`` is often used to mark methods which must be implemented for the overall functionality to be complete, but which the developer wants to implement later. That's as opposed to the ``++NotSupportedException++`` which is thrown by methods which are required by base classes or interfaces, but which are not appropriate to the current class.


This rule raises an exception when ``++NotImplementedException++`` is thrown.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,text]
----
void doTheThing() 
{
    throw new NotImplementedException(); 
}

=== Exceptions

Exceptions derived from ``++NotImplementedException++`` are ignored.
