Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property Message As String
public override string Message { get; }
Property Value
Type: System.String
The error message string.
Remarks
If the class name is not specified when the object is constructed, the default text string inherited from the base class is returned.
This property overrides Message. The error message should be localized.
Examples
The following example demonstrates the Message property. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the MissingMethodException class.
Try
' Attempt to call a static DoSomething method defined in the Example class.
' However, because the Example class does not define this field,
' a MissingFieldException is thrown.
GetType(Example).InvokeMember("DoSomething", BindingFlags.Static Or BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, _
Nothing, Nothing, Nothing)
Catch e As MissingMethodException
' Show the user that the DoSomething method cannot be called.
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Unable to call the DoSomething method: {0}", e.Message) & vbCrLf
End Try
try
{
// Attempt to call a static DoSomething method defined in the Example class.
// However, because the Example class does not define this field,
// a MissingFieldException is thrown.
typeof(Example).InvokeMember("DoSomething", BindingFlags.Static |
BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, null, null);
}
catch (MissingMethodException e)
{
// Show the user that the DoSomething method cannot be called.
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Unable to call the DoSomething method: {0}", e.Message) + "\n";
}
