[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Initializes a new instance of the InvalidCastException class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    message As String, _
    innerException As Exception _
)
public InvalidCastException(
    string message,
    Exception innerException
)
public:
InvalidCastException(
    String^ message, 
    Exception^ innerException
)
new : 
        message:string * 
        innerException:Exception -> InvalidCastException
public function InvalidCastException(
    message : String, 
    innerException : Exception
)

Parameters

  • innerException
    Type: System. . :: . .Exception
    The exception that is the cause of the current exception. If the innerException parameter is not a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the current exception is raised in a catch block that handles the inner exception.

Remarks

An exception that is thrown as a direct result of a previous exception should include a reference to the previous exception in the InnerException property. The InnerException property returns the same value that is passed into the constructor, or a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the InnerException property does not supply the inner exception value to the constructor.

The following table shows the initial property values for an instance of InvalidCastException.
