This might be a good argument for a custom exception (GetPropertyByStringException?), or pass the name to ArgumentException.

I am try/catching the instantiation of DataTablesRequest so I can gracefully handle any invalid column configurations instead of my server blowing up with a 500 error. I think other people will want to do this too.

As it stands right now, I am unable to identify and report the "bad" column type.

Usage

// ...
throw new DataTablesGetPropertyByStringException(type, name);


// Later in a catch(DataTablesGetPropertyByStringException ex) ...

return BadRequest($"Sorry, the property {ex.name} did not exist on {ex.type}");

Agree with custom exception type.
