AggregateException.Handle(Func<Exception,Boolean>) Method

Definition

Invokes a handler on each Exception contained by this AggregateException.

public:
 void Handle(Func<Exception ^, bool> ^ predicate);
public void Handle (Func<Exception,bool> predicate);
member this.Handle : Func<Exception, bool> -> unit
Public Sub Handle (predicate As Func(Of Exception, Boolean))

Parameters

predicate
Func<Exception,Boolean>

The predicate to execute for each exception. The predicate accepts as an argument the Exception to be processed and returns a Boolean to indicate whether the exception was handled.

Exceptions

The predicate argument is null.

An exception contained by this AggregateException was not handled.

Examples

Ordinarily, an exception handler that catches an AggregateException exception uses a foreach loop (in C#) or For Each loop (in Visual Basic) to handle each exception in its InnerExceptions collection. Instead, the following example uses the Handle method to handle each exception, and only rethrows exceptions that are not CustomException instances.

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      var task1 = Task.Run( () => { throw new CustomException("This exception is expected!"); } );

      try {
          task1.Wait();
      }
      catch (AggregateException ae)
      {
         // Call the Handle method to handle the custom exception,
         // otherwise rethrow the exception.
         ae.Handle(ex => { if (ex is CustomException)
                             Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
                          return ex is CustomException;
                        });
      }
   }
}

public class CustomException : Exception
{
   public CustomException(String message) : base(message)
   {}
}
// The example displays the following output:
//        This exception is expected!
open System
open System.Threading.Tasks

type CustomException(message) =
    inherit Exception(message)

let task1 =
    Task.Run(fun () -> raise (CustomException "This exception is expected!"))

try
    task1.Wait()
with
| :? AggregateException as ae ->
    // Call the Handle method to handle the custom exception,
    // otherwise rethrow the exception.
    ae.Handle (fun ex ->
        if ex :? CustomException then
            printfn $"{ex.Message}"

        ex :? CustomException)

// The example displays the following output:
//        This exception is expected!
Imports System.Threading.Tasks

      Dim task1 = Task.Run(Sub() Throw New CustomException("This exception is expected!"))

Remarks

Each invocation of the predicate returns true or false to indicate whether the Exception was handled. After all invocations, if any exceptions went unhandled, all unhandled exceptions will be put into a new AggregateException which will be thrown. Otherwise, the Handle method simply returns. If any invocations of the predicate throws an exception, it will halt the processing of any more exceptions and immediately propagate the thrown exception as-is.
