ExceptionHandlingClauseOptions Enum

Definition

Identifies kinds of exception-handling clauses.

This enumeration supports a bitwise combination of its member values.

Name Value Description
Clause 0

The clause accepts all exceptions that derive from a specified type.

Filter 1

The clause contains user-specified instructions that determine whether the exception should be ignored (that is, whether normal execution should resume), be handled by the associated handler, or be passed on to the next clause.

Finally 2

The clause is executed whenever the try block exits, whether through normal control flow or because of an unhandled exception.

Fault 4

The clause is executed if an exception occurs, but not on completion of normal control flow.

Examples

The following code example defines a test method named MethodBodyExample, and displays its local variable information and exception-handling clauses. The MethodBase.GetMethodBody method is used to obtain a MethodBody object for the test method. The ExceptionHandlingClauses property is used to obtain a list of ExceptionHandlingClause objects and display their properties.

This code is part of a larger example provided for the MethodBody class.

#using <System.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;

public ref class Example
{
    // The Main method contains code to analyze this method, using
    // the properties and methods of the MethodBody class.

    {
        // Define some local variables. In addition to these variables,
        // the local variable list includes the variables scoped to 
        // the catch clauses.
        int var1 = 42;
        String^ var2 = "Forty-two";

        try
        {
            // Depending on the input value, throw an ArgumentException or 
            // an ArgumentNullException to test the Catch clauses.
            if (arg == nullptr)
            {
                throw gcnew ArgumentNullException("The argument cannot " +
                    "be null.");
            }

            {
                throw gcnew ArgumentException("The argument cannot " + 
                    "be a string.");
            }

        // Basic code for an example of a Filter clause.

Remarks

To examine the exception-handling clauses in a method, obtain a MethodInfo object and call the GetMethodBody method to obtain the method body. Use the ExceptionHandlingClauses property to obtain a list of ExceptionHandlingClause objects.

Note

Working with exception-handling clauses requires a thorough understanding of metadata and Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instruction formats. Information can be found in the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) documentation, especially "Partition II: Metadata Definition and Semantics".
