Remarks

Note

In XAML, this exception is thrown when the just-in-time (JIT) compiler detects a call to a member that has the SecurityCriticalAttribute attribute. Such members cannot be used in Windows Phone apps.

MemberAccessException is the base class for FieldAccessException, MethodAccessException, MissingMemberException, MissingMethodException, and MissingFieldException. These exceptions are thrown when a class member is not found or access to the member is not permitted.

MemberAccessException can be thrown when reflection is used for late-bound access to members. For example, it can be thrown by the following methods: Type..::.InvokeMember, MethodBase..::.Invoke, FieldInfo..::.GetValue, and Delegate..::.DynamicInvoke.

MemberAccessException uses the HRESULT COR_E_MEMBERACCESS, which has the value 0x8013151A.

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