Checks for a condition; if the condition is false, follows the escalation policy set by the analyzer and displays the specified message.

Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
<ConditionalAttribute("CONTRACTS_FULL")> _
<ConditionalAttribute("DEBUG")> _
Public Shared Sub Assert ( _

userMessage As String _
)

bool condition,
string userMessage
)
Parameters
- condition
Type: System.Boolean
The conditional expression to test.
- userMessage
Type: System.String
A message to display if the condition is not met.
Remarks
The default escalation policy is to notify the attached debugger about a contract failure or to display an Assert dialog box if a debugger is not attached. Optionally, the analyzer can be instructed to throw an exception. The userMessage parameter is passed to the debugger output. If userMessage is not a constant string literal, tools may not be able to read it.
