Why not use String.IsNullOrEmpty()? That is even more specialised for this situation.

Unfortunately this method will throw exceptions in certain scenarios

Can you give one single example where it would throw an exception?

Here is a real-world sample:

\\\
Public Module Program
Public Sub Main()
Dim f As New Foo()
f.Test = Nothing
End Sub
End Module

Public Class Foo
Private m_Test As String

Public Property Test() As String
Get
Return m_Test
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(Value) Then
Throw _
New ArgumentNullException( _
"The 'Value' must not be 'Nothing' or an empty string." _
)
End If
m_Test = Value
End Set
End Property
End Class
