TypeInitializationException Constructor

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Initializes a new instance of the TypeInitializationException class with the default error message, the specified type name, and a reference to the inner exception that is the root cause of this exception.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    fullTypeName As String, _
    innerException As Exception _
)

public TypeInitializationException(
    string fullTypeName,
    Exception innerException
)

Parameters

  • fullTypeName
    Type: System.String
    The fully qualified name of the type that fails to initialize.
  • 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 can 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 TypeInitializationException.
