Examples

The following code example shows how to catch a LicenseException and interpret its content. In the sample, the application calls the Validate method for a System.Windows.Forms.Form that is not licensed. Upon catching the exception, the sample fetches the respective error message, the type of component that was not granted a license, the stack trace, and the origin of the exception.

This example requires that you have specified the LicenseProvider by marking the System.Windows.Forms.Form with a LicenseProviderAttribute attribute. For more information on how to do this, see the LicenseManager class.

try
{
   License^ licTest = nullptr;
   licTest = LicenseManager::Validate( Form1::typeid, this );
}
catch ( LicenseException^ licE ) 
{
   Console::WriteLine( licE->Message );
   Console::WriteLine( licE->LicensedType );
   Console::WriteLine( licE->StackTrace );
   Console::WriteLine( licE->Source );
}
try {
    License licTest = null;
    licTest = LicenseManager.Validate(typeof(Form1), this);
}

catch(LicenseException licE) {
    Console.WriteLine(licE.Message);
    Console.WriteLine(licE.LicensedType);
    Console.WriteLine(licE.StackTrace);
    Console.WriteLine(licE.Source);	
}
Try
    Dim licTest As License
    licTest = LicenseManager.Validate(GetType(Form1), Me)
Catch licE As LicenseException
    Console.WriteLine(licE.Message)
    Console.WriteLine(licE.LicensedType)
    Console.WriteLine(licE.StackTrace)
    Console.WriteLine(licE.Source)
End Try

Remarks

The LicenseManager.Validate method throws LicenseException when a component cannot obtain a valid license. This occurs when a component is either not licensed, or is licensed but cannot be granted a valid license.

For more information on licensing, see How to: License Components and Controls.
