Initializes a new instance of the TypeLoadException class.
Overloads
TypeLoadException() |
Initializes a new instance of the TypeLoadException class. |
TypeLoadException(String) |
Initializes a new instance of the TypeLoadException class with a specified error message. |
TypeLoadException(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) |
Obsolete.
Initializes a new instance of the TypeLoadException class with serialized data. |
TypeLoadException(String, Exception) |
Initializes a new instance of the TypeLoadException class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception. |
TypeLoadException()
- Source:
- TypeLoadException.cs
- Source:
- TypeLoadException.cs
- Source:
- TypeLoadException.cs
Initializes a new instance of the TypeLoadException class.
public:
TypeLoadException();
public TypeLoadException ();
Public Sub New ()
Remarks
This constructor initializes the Message property of the new instance to a system-supplied message that describes the error, such as "A failure has occurred while loading a type." This message takes into account the current system culture.
The following table shows the initial property values for an instance of TypeLoadException.
Property | Value |
---|---|
InnerException | A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
Message | The localized error message string. |
Applies to
TypeLoadException(String)
- Source:
- TypeLoadException.cs
- Source:
- TypeLoadException.cs
- Source:
- TypeLoadException.cs
Initializes a new instance of the TypeLoadException class with a specified error message.
public:
TypeLoadException(System::String ^ message);
public TypeLoadException (string message);
public TypeLoadException (string? message);
new TypeLoadException : string -> TypeLoadException
Public Sub New (message As String)
Parameters
- message
- String
The message that describes the error.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates the TypeLoadException(String) constructor. It contains a method that generates a TypeLoadException with a custom message, and displays the error message to the console.
using namespace System;
class TypeLoadExceptionDemoClass
{
public:
static bool GenerateException()
{
// Throw a TypeLoadException with a custom message.
throw gcnew TypeLoadException("This is a custom TypeLoadException error message.");
}
};
int main()
{
try {
// Call a method that throws an exception.
TypeLoadExceptionDemoClass::GenerateException();
}
catch ( TypeLoadException^ e ) {
Console::WriteLine("TypeLoadException:\n {0}", e->Message);
}
catch ( Exception^ e )
{
Console::WriteLine( "Exception: \n\tError Message = {0}", e->Message );
}
}
// The example displays the following output:
// TypeLoadException:
// This is a custom TypeLoadException error message.
using System;
public class Example
{
public static void Main()
{
try {
// Call a method that throws an exception.
TypeLoadExceptionDemoClass.GenerateException();
}
catch (TypeLoadException e) {
Console.WriteLine("TypeLoadException:\n {0}", e.Message);
}
}
}
class TypeLoadExceptionDemoClass
{
public static bool GenerateException()
{
// Throw a TypeLoadException with a custom defined message.
throw new TypeLoadException("This is a custom TypeLoadException error message.");
}
}
// The example displays the following output:
// TypeLoadException:
// This is a custom TypeLoadException error message.
Public Class Example
Public Shared Sub Main()
Try
' Call a method that throws an exception.
TypeLoadExceptionDemoClass.GenerateException()
Catch e As TypeLoadException
Console.WriteLine("TypeLoadException:{0} {1}", vbCrLf, e.Message)
End Try
End Sub
End Class
Class TypeLoadExceptionDemoClass
Public Shared Function GenerateException() As Boolean
' Throw a TypeLoadException with a custom message.
Throw New TypeLoadException("This is a custom TypeLoadException error message.")
End Function
End Class
' The example displays the following output:
' TypeLoadException:
' This is a custom TypeLoadException error message.
Remarks
The content of the message
parameter should be understandable to the user. The caller of this constructor is required to ensure that this string has been localized for the current system culture.
The following table shows the initial property values for an instance of TypeLoadException.
Property | Value |
---|---|
InnerException | A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
Message | The error message string. |

Applies to
TypeLoadException(String, Exception)
- Source:
- TypeLoadException.cs
- Source:
- TypeLoadException.cs
- Source:
- TypeLoadException.cs
Initializes a new instance of the TypeLoadException class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception.
public:
TypeLoadException(System::String ^ message, Exception ^ inner);
public TypeLoadException (string message, Exception inner);
public TypeLoadException (string? message, Exception? inner);
new TypeLoadException : string * Exception -> TypeLoadException
Public Sub New (message As String, inner As Exception)
Parameters
- message
- String
The error message that explains the reason for the exception.
- inner
- Exception
The exception that is the cause of the current exception. If the inner
parameter is not null
, the current exception is raised in a catch
block that handles the inner exception.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates the TypeLoadException(String, Exception) constructor. It contains a method that generates a TypeLoadException, catches that exception, and throws a new TypeLoadException with a custom message, including the original TypeLoadException as the inner exception.

using namespace System::Runtime::InteropServices;

Remarks
An exception that is thrown as a direct result of a previous exception can include a reference to the previous exception in the InnerException property. The InnerException property returns the same value that is passed into the constructor, or null
if the InnerException property does not supply the inner exception value to the constructor.
The following table shows the initial property values for an instance of TypeLoadException.
Property | Value |
---|---|
InnerException | The inner exception reference. |
Message | The error message string. |
