Exception.HResult Property

Definition

Gets or sets HRESULT, a coded numerical value that is assigned to a specific exception.

public int HResult { get; protected set; }
public int HResult { get; set; }
protected int HResult { get; set; }

Property Value

The HRESULT value.

Examples

The following code example defines a derived Exception class that sets the HResult property to a custom value in its constructor.

// Example for the Exception.HResult property.
using System;

namespace NDP_UE_CS
{
    // Create the derived exception class.
    class SecondLevelException : Exception
    {
        const int SecondLevelHResult = unchecked( (int)0x81234567 );

        // Set HResult for this exception, and include it in
        // the exception message.
        public SecondLevelException( string message, Exception inner ) :
            base( string.Format( "(HRESULT:0x{1:X8}) {0}",
                message, SecondLevelHResult ), inner )
        {
            HResult = SecondLevelHResult;
        }
    }

    class HResultDemo
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            // This function forces a division by 0 and throws
            // a second exception.
            try
            {
                try
                {
                    int  zero = 0;
                    int  ecks = 1 / zero;
                }
                catch( Exception ex )
                {
                    throw new SecondLevelException(
                        "Forced a division by 0 and threw " +
                        "a second exception.", ex );
                }
            }
            catch( Exception ex )
            {
                Console.WriteLine( ex.ToString( ) );
            }
        }
    }
}

Remarks

HRESULT is a 32-bit value, divided into three different fields: a severity code, a facility code, and an error code. The severity code indicates whether the return value represents information, warning, or error. The facility code identifies the area of the system responsible for the error. The error code is a unique number that is assigned to represent the exception. Each exception is mapped to a distinct HRESULT. When managed code throws an exception, the runtime passes the HRESULT to the COM client. When unmanaged code returns an error, the HRESULT is converted to an exception, which is then thrown by the runtime. For information about HRESULT values and their corresponding .NET Framework exceptions, see How to: Map HRESULTs and Exceptions. See Common HRESULT Values in the Windows documentation for a list of the values you are most likely to encounter.

Starting with the .NET Framework 4.5, the HResult property's setter is protected, whereas its getter is public. In previous versions of the .NET Framework, both getter and setter are protected.
