MissingMethodException Class

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

The exception that is thrown when there is an attempt to dynamically access a method that does not exist.

Inheritance Hierarchy

Syntax

'Declaration
<ComVisibleAttribute(True)> _
Public Class MissingMethodException _
    Inherits MissingMemberException

[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public class MissingMethodException : MissingMemberException

The MissingMethodException type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	MissingMethodException()	Initializes a new instance of the MissingMethodException class.
	MissingMethodException(String)	Initializes a new instance of the MissingMethodException class with a specified error message.
	MissingMethodException(String, Exception)	Initializes a new instance of the MissingMethodException class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Data	Gets a collection of key/value pairs that provide additional user-defined information about the exception. (Inherited from Exception.)
	HResult	Gets or sets HRESULT, a coded numerical value that is assigned to a specific exception. (Inherited from Exception.)
	InnerException	Gets the Exception instance that caused the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.)
	Message	Gets the text string showing the class name, the method name, and the signature of the missing method. This property is read-only. (Overrides MissingMemberException.Message.) In Silverlight for Windows Phone, this member is overridden by Message. In XNA Framework, this member is overridden by Message.
	StackTrace	Gets a string representation of the frames on the call stack at the time the current exception was thrown. (Inherited from Exception.)

Top

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetBaseException	When overridden in a derived class, returns the Exception that is the root cause of one or more subsequent exceptions. (Inherited from Exception.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the runtime type of the current instance. (Inherited from Exception.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Creates and returns a string representation of the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.)

Remarks

Normally a compilation error is generated if code attempts to access a nonexistent method of a class. MissingMethodException is designed to handle cases where an attempt is made to dynamically access a renamed or deleted method of an assembly that is not referenced by its strong name. MissingMethodException is thrown when code in a dependent assembly attempts to access a missing method in an assembly that was modified.

For a list of initial property values for an instance of MissingMethodException, see the MissingMethodException constructors.

Examples

This example shows what happens if you attempt to use reflection to call a method that does not exist and access a field that does not exist. The application recovers by catching the MissingMethodException, MissingFieldException, and MissingMemberException.

Note:
To run this example, see Building Examples That Use a Demo Method and a TextBlock Control.

Imports System.Reflection

Public Class Example
   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      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 access a static AField field defined in the Example class.
         ' However, because the Example class does not define this field, 
         ' a MissingFieldException is thrown.
