Exception.GetBaseException Method

Definition

When overridden in a derived class, returns the Exception that is the root cause of one or more subsequent exceptions.

public:
 virtual Exception ^ GetBaseException();
public virtual Exception GetBaseException ();
abstract member GetBaseException : unit -> Exception
override this.GetBaseException : unit -> Exception
Public Overridable Function GetBaseException () As Exception

Returns

The first exception thrown in a chain of exceptions. If the InnerException property of the current exception is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), this property returns the current exception.

Implements

Examples

The following code example defines two derived Exception classes. It forces an exception and then throws it again with each of the derived classes. The code shows the use of the GetBaseException method to retrieve the original exception.

// Example for the Exception::GetBaseException method.
using namespace System;

namespace NDP_UE_CPP
{

   // Define two derived exceptions to demonstrate nested exceptions.
   ref class SecondLevelException: public Exception
   {
   public:
      SecondLevelException( String^ message, Exception^ inner )
         : Exception( message, inner )
      {}

   };

   ref class ThirdLevelException: public Exception
   {
   public:
      ThirdLevelException( String^ message, Exception^ inner )
         : Exception( message, inner )
      {}

   };


   // DivideBy0 forces a division by 0 and throws a second exception.
   void DivideBy0()
   {
      try
      {
         int zero = 0;
         int ecks = 1 / zero;
      }
      catch ( Exception^ ex ) 
      {
         throw gcnew SecondLevelException( "Forced a division by 0 and threw "
         "a second exception.",ex );
      }

   }


   // This function catches the exception from the called function
   // DivideBy0( ) and throws another in response.
   void Rethrow()
   {
      try
      {
         DivideBy0();
      }
      catch ( Exception^ ex ) 
      {
         throw gcnew ThirdLevelException( "Caught the second exception and "
         "threw a third in response.",ex );
      }

   }

}

int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine( "This example of Exception.GetBaseException "
   "generates the following output." );
   Console::WriteLine( "\nThe program forces a division by 0, "
   "then throws the exception \ntwice more, "
   "using a different derived exception each time.\n" );
   try
   {
      
      // This function calls another that forces a division by 0.
      NDP_UE_CPP::Rethrow();
   }
   catch ( Exception^ e ) 
   {
      Exception^ current;

         Console::WriteLine();

      Console::WriteLine( "Display the base exception using the \n"
      "GetBaseException method:\n" );
      Console::WriteLine( e->GetBaseException()->ToString() );

Remarks

A chain of exceptions consists of a set of exceptions such that each exception in the chain was thrown as a direct result of the exception referenced in its InnerException property. For a given chain, there can be exactly one exception that is the root cause of all other exceptions in the chain. This exception is called the base exception and its InnerException property always contains a null reference.

For all exceptions in a chain of exceptions, the GetBaseException method must return the same object (the base exception).

Use the GetBaseException method when you want to find the root cause of an exception but do not need information about exceptions that may have occurred between the current exception and the first exception.

Notes to Inheritors

The GetBaseException method is overridden in classes that require control over the exception content or format.
