message Property (Visual Studio - JScript)

Returns an error message string.

errorObj.message

Arguments

  • errorObj
    Required. Instance of Error object.

Remarks

The message property returns a string that contains an error message associated with a specific error. Use the value that is contained in this property to alert a user to an error that you cannot or do not want to handle.

The description and message properties provide the same functionality. The description property provides backwards compatibility; the message property complies with the ECMA standard.

Example

The following example causes an exception to be thrown, and displays the message of the error.

try
{
    var arr = new Array(-1);
}
catch(e)
{
    print ("Error Message: " + e.message);
    print ("Error Code: " + (e.number & 0xFFFF))
    print ("Error Name: " + e.name);
}

The output of this code is:

Error Message: Array length must be zero or a positive integer
Error Code: 5029
Error Name: RangeError
