Examples

The following code example derives an Exception that uses a predefined message. The code demonstrates the use of the parameterless constructor for the derived class and the base Exception class.

// Example for the Exception( ) constructor.
using System;

namespace NDP_UE_CS
{
    // Derive an exception with a predefined message.
    class NotEvenException : Exception
    {
        public NotEvenException( ) :
            base( "The argument to a function requiring " +
                "even input is not divisible by 2." )
        { }
    }

    class NewExceptionDemo

        public static void Main()

                "generates the following output." );
            Console.WriteLine(
                "\nHere, an exception is thrown using the \n" +
                "parameterless constructor of the base class.\n" );

            CalcHalf( 12 );
            CalcHalf( 15 );

            Console.WriteLine(
                "\nHere, an exception is thrown using the \n" +
                "parameterless constructor of a derived class.\n" );

            CalcHalf2( 27 );
        }
        
        // Half throws a base exception if the input is not even.
        static int Half( int input )
        {
            if( input % 2 != 0 )
                throw new Exception( );

            else return input / 2;
        }

        // Half2 throws a derived exception if the input is not even.
        static int Half2( int input )
        {
            if( input % 2 != 0 )
                throw new NotEvenException( );

            else return input / 2;
        }

        // CalcHalf calls Half and catches any thrown exceptions.
        static void CalcHalf(int input )
        {
            try
            {
                int halfInput = Half( input );
                Console.WriteLine(
                    "Half of {0} is {1}.", input, halfInput );
            }
            catch( Exception ex )
            {
                Console.WriteLine( ex.ToString( ) );
            }
        }

        // CalcHalf2 calls Half2 and catches any thrown exceptions.
        static void CalcHalf2(int input )
        {
            try
            {
                int halfInput = Half2( input );
                Console.WriteLine(
                    "Half of {0} is {1}.", input, halfInput );
            }
            catch( Exception ex )
            {
                Console.WriteLine( ex.ToString( ) );
            }
        }
    }
}

/*

Remarks

This constructor initializes the Message property of the new instance to a system-supplied message that describes the error and takes into account the current system culture.

All the derived classes should provide this parameterless constructor. The following table shows the initial property values for an instance of Exception.

Property Value
InnerException A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Message A system-supplied localized description.

Exception(String)

Source:
Exception.cs
Source:
Exception.cs
Source:
Exception.cs

Initializes a new instance of the Exception class with a specified error message.

public Exception (string message);
public Exception (string? message);

Parameters

message
String

The message that describes the error.

Examples

The following code example derives an Exception for a specific condition. The code demonstrates the use of the constructor that takes a caller-specified message as a parameter, for both the derived class and the base Exception class.

// Example for the Exception( string ) constructor.

Remarks

This constructor initializes the Message property of the new instance by using the message parameter. If the message parameter is null, this is the same as calling the Exception constructor.

The following table shows the initial property values for an instance of Exception.

Property Value
InnerException A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Message The error message string.

Exception(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)

Source:
Exception.CoreCLR.cs
Source:
Exception.CoreCLR.cs
Source:
Exception.CoreCLR.cs

Caution

This API supports obsolete formatter-based serialization. It should not be called or extended by application code.

Initializes a new instance of the Exception class with serialized data.

protected Exception (System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo info, System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext context);
[System.Obsolete("This API supports obsolete formatter-based serialization. It should not be called or extended by application code.", DiagnosticId="SYSLIB0051", UrlFormat="https://aka.ms/dotnet-warnings/{0}")]
protected Exception (System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo info, System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext context);

Parameters

info
SerializationInfo

The SerializationInfo that holds the serialized object data about the exception being thrown.

context
StreamingContext

The StreamingContext that contains contextual information about the source or destination.

Attributes

Exceptions

info is null.

The class name is null or HResult is zero (0).

Examples

The following code example defines a derived serializable Exception class. The code forces a divide-by-0 error and then creates an instance of the derived exception using the (SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) constructor. The code serializes the instance to a file, deserializes the file into a new exception, which it throws, and then catches and displays the exception's data.

Exception(String, Exception)

Source:
Exception.cs
Source:
Exception.cs
Source:
Exception.cs

Initializes a new instance of the Exception class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception.

public Exception (string message, Exception innerException);
public Exception (string? message, Exception? innerException);

Parameters

message
String

The error message that explains the reason for the exception.

innerException
Exception

The exception that is the cause of the current exception, or a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if no inner exception is specified.

Examples

The following code example derives an Exception for a specific condition. The code demonstrates the use of the constructor that takes a message and an inner exception as parameters, for both the derived class and the base Exception class.

/*
This example of the Exception( string, Exception )
constructor generates the following output.

Example of a derived exception that references an inner exception:

NDP_UE_CS.LogTableOverflowException: The log table has overflowed. - Record "Lo
g record number 5" was not logged. ---> System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index
was outside the bounds of the array.
   at NDP_UE_CS.LogTable.AddRecord(String newRecord)
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at NDP_UE_CS.LogTable.AddRecord(String newRecord)
   at NDP_UE_CS.OverflowDemo.Main()
*/

Remarks

An exception that is thrown as a direct result of a previous exception should 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 a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) 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 Exception.

Property Value
InnerException The inner exception reference.
Message The error message string.
