I am beginning to use exceptions in visual basic and haveing issues with my compute button(totals button works fine). My issue is I have a group box of customer information and the customer name, shipping address, and telephone cannot be blank and just need help on how I can throw exception with this. I also have a purchase information group box that checks to make sure product identifier, purchase price, and quantity purchased are not blank either. I was able to get this to work fine for purchase price and quantity purchased but does not work for product identifier. If someone could please walk me through this so I hopefully wont have to ask how to do exceptions again. Here is my code and if I need to explain anything better please let me know...

Code:
