Gets or sets HRESULT, a coded numerical value that is assigned to a specific exception.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

Public Property HResult As Integer
public int HResult { get; protected set; }

Property Value

Type: System..::.Int32
The HRESULT value.

Remarks

HRESULT is a 32-bit value, divided into three different fields: a severity code, a facility code, and an error code. The severity code indicates whether the return value represents information, warning, or error. The facility code identifies the area of the system responsible for the error. The error code is a unique number that is assigned to represent the exception. Each exception is mapped to a distinct HRESULT. When managed code throws an exception, the runtime passes the HRESULT to the COM client. When unmanaged code returns an error, the HRESULT is converted to an exception, which is then thrown by the runtime.
