RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute Class

Definition

Specifies whether to wrap exceptions that do not derive from the Exception class with a RuntimeWrappedException object. This class cannot be inherited.

public ref class RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute sealed : Attribute
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Assembly, AllowMultiple=false, Inherited=false)]
public sealed class RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute : Attribute
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Assembly, AllowMultiple=false, Inherited=false)]
[System.Serializable]
public sealed class RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute : Attribute
[<System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Assembly, AllowMultiple=false, Inherited=false)>]
type RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute = class
    inherit Attribute
[<System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Assembly, AllowMultiple=false, Inherited=false)>]
[<System.Serializable>]
type RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute = class
    inherit Attribute
Public NotInheritable Class RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to apply the RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute class to an assembly that throws a String object as an exception in C++ and catches it using a RuntimeWrappedException object.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Runtime::CompilerServices;

[assembly:RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute(WrapNonExceptionThrows = true)]; 

void run()
{
    try
    {
        throw gcnew String("This is a string");

    }
    catch(RuntimeWrappedException^ e)
    {
        Console::WriteLine("RuntimeWrappedException caught!");
    }
}

int main()
{
    run();

    return 0;
}

Remarks

Some languages, such as C++, allow you to throw exceptions of any type. Other languages, such as Microsoft C# and Visual Basic, require that every thrown exception be derived from the Exception class. To maintain compatibility between languages, the common language runtime (CLR) wraps objects that do not derive from Exception in a RuntimeWrappedException object.

You can use the RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute class to specify whether exceptions should appear wrapped inside catch blocks and exception filters for an assembly. Many language compilers, including the Microsoft C# and Visual Basic compilers, apply this attribute by default to specify the wrapping behavior.

Note that the runtime still wraps exceptions even if you use the RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute class to specify that you do not want them wrapped. In this case, exceptions are unwrapped only inside catch blocks or exception filters.

Constructors

RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute()

Initializes a new instance of the RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute class.

Properties

TypeId

When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute.

(Inherited from Attribute)
WrapNonExceptionThrows

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether to wrap exceptions that do not derive from the Exception class with a RuntimeWrappedException object.

Methods

Equals(Object)

Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object.

(Inherited from Attribute)
GetHashCode()

Returns the hash code for this instance.

(Inherited from Attribute)
GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
IsDefaultAttribute()

When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class.

(Inherited from Attribute)
Match(Object)

When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object.

(Inherited from Attribute)
MemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object)
ToString()

Returns a string that represents the current object.

Explicit Interface Implementations

_Attribute.GetIDsOfNames(Guid, IntPtr, UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)

Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers.

(Inherited from Attribute)
_Attribute.GetTypeInfo(UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)

Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface.

(Inherited from Attribute)
_Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount(UInt32)

(Inherited from Attribute)
_Attribute.Invoke(UInt32, Guid, UInt32, Int16, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr)

Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object.
