Properties

Data Gets a collection of key/value pairs that provide additional user-defined information about the exception.
HelpLink Gets or sets a link to the help file associated with this exception.
HResult Gets or sets HRESULT, a coded numerical value that is assigned to a specific exception.
InnerException Gets the Exception instance that caused the current exception.
Message Gets a message that describes the current exception.
Source Gets or sets the name of the application or the object that causes the error.
StackTrace Gets a string representation of the immediate frames on the call stack.
TargetSite Gets the method that throws the current exception.

Methods

Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetBaseException() When overridden in a derived class, returns the Exception that is the root cause of one or more subsequent exceptions.
GetHashCode() Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) Obsolete. When overridden in a derived class, sets the SerializationInfo with information about the exception.
GetType() Gets the runtime type of the current instance.
GetType() Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone() Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString() Creates and returns a string representation of the current exception.

Events

SerializeObjectState Occurs when an exception is serialized to create an exception state object that contains serialized data about the exception.
