Is there a list of .Net Exception types and advice on when to use them?

A list of them:

.NET Exceptions (all of them)

As for the circumstance, it depends, most of the time they make sense based on their name and arguments. ArgumentNullException, for example, is usually used when checking method / constructor arguments for null values.

Then you have others such as FileNotFoundException, NullReferenceException, InvalidOperationException, as you can see they read very easily and should be used with common sense.

Update 1: as someone has suggested, they are also on MSDN:

Here are views on common exceptions available:
