Throwing Nice Exceptions

I have a point in my code where I can get an exception if the network is not
available. This exception is kind of ugly for the user to see. I'd like to
catch and throw new exception that contains only my error string and an OK
button. If I say throw new System.Exception("The network is not available,
the list will not contain data."), the user sees text they don't need to see,
and they have to choose between break and continue buttons.

Any ideas?

Maybe I misunderstand something, but why don't you just catch the exception
and handle it the way you like it.

Exception with an OK button is a very nice idea.

That sounds interesting, how is that done?

Is there a C++ only equivalent?
