)

Parameters

  • innerException
    Type: System. . :: . .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 Nothing nullptr unit a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the InnerException property does not supply the inner exception value to the constructor.
