Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Gets or sets the unhandled exception.
Namespace: System.Windows
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Property ExceptionObject As Exception
public Exception ExceptionObject { get; set; }
Property Value
Type: System.Exception
The unhandled exception.
Remarks
This property is read-write in the object model, but your application code would not typically write to it. The property is intended to report the conditions of an error that is raised by Silverlight.
Examples
The following example shows how to handle and use the UnhandledException event.
Imports System.IO
Partial Public Class App
Inherits Application
Public Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
End Sub
Private Sub Application_Startup(ByVal o As Object, _
ByVal e As StartupEventArgs) Handles Me.Startup
Me.RootVisual = New Page()
End Sub
Private Sub Application_UnhandledException(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As ApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs) Handles Me.UnhandledException
If TypeOf e.ExceptionObject Is FileNotFoundException Then
' Inform the user
' Recover from the error
e.Handled = True
Return
End If
' Exception is unrecoverable so stop the application and allow the
' Silverlight plug-in control to detect and process the exception.
End Sub
End Class
using System.IO; // FileNotFoundException
using System.Windows; // Application, StartupEventArgs, ApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs
namespace SilverlightApplication
{
public partial class App : Application
{
public App()
{
this.Startup += this.Application_Startup;
this.UnhandledException += this.Application_UnhandledException;
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
{
this.RootVisual = new Page();
}
private void Application_UnhandledException(object sender,
ApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
{
if (e.ExceptionObject is FileNotFoundException)
{
// Inform the user
// Recover from the error
e.Handled = true;
return;
}
// Exception is unrecoverable so stop the application and allow the
// Silverlight plug-in control to detect and process the exception.
}
}
}
