SerializationException(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)

Source:
SerializationException.cs
Source:
SerializationException.cs
Source:
SerializationException.cs

Caution

This API supports obsolete formatter-based serialization. It should not be called or extended by application code.

Initializes a new instance of the SerializationException class from serialized data.

C#
[System.Obsolete("This API supports obsolete formatter-based serialization. It should not be called or extended by application code.", DiagnosticId="SYSLIB0051", UrlFormat="https://aka.ms/dotnet-warnings/{0}")]
protected SerializationException(System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo info, System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext context);
C#
protected SerializationException(System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo info, System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext context);

Parameters

info
SerializationInfo

The serialization information object holding the serialized object data in the name-value form.

context
StreamingContext

The contextual information about the source or destination of the exception.

Attributes

Exceptions

The info parameter is null.

Remarks

The current constructor is called during deserialization to reconstitute the exception object transmitted over a stream. (For more information on serialization see XML and SOAP Serialization.)

SerializationException(String, Exception)

Source:
SerializationException.cs
Source:
SerializationException.cs
Source:
SerializationException.cs

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

C#
public SerializationException(string message, Exception innerException);
C#
public SerializationException(string? message, Exception? innerException);

Parameters

message
String

The error message that explains the reason for the exception.

innerException
Exception

The exception that is the cause of the current exception. If the innerException parameter is not null, 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 null 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 SerializationException.

Property Value
InnerException The inner exception reference.
Message The error message string.
