ArgumentException Constructor (String, String, Exception)

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

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

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    message As String, _
    paramName As String, _
    innerException As Exception _
)

public ArgumentException(
    string message,
    string paramName,
    Exception innerException
)

public:
ArgumentException(
    String^ message, 
    String^ paramName, 
    Exception^ innerException
)

new : 
        message:string * 
        paramName:string * 
        innerException:Exception -> ArgumentException

public function ArgumentException(
    message : String, 
    paramName : String, 
    innerException : Exception
)

Parameters

• message
  Type: System. . :: . .String
  The error message that explains the reason for the exception.

• paramName
  Type: System. . :: . .String
  The name of the parameter that caused the current exception.

• innerException
  Type: System. . :: . .Exception
  The exception that is the cause of the current exception. If the innerException parameter is not a null reference, the current exception is raised in a catch block that handles the inner exception.

Remarks

This constructor initializes the Message property of the new instance using the value of the message parameter. The content of the message parameter is intended to be understood by humans. The caller of this constructor is required to ensure that this string has been localized for the current system culture.

This constructor initializes the ParamName property of the new instance using paramName. The content of paramName is intended to be understood by humans.

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 null Nothing nullptr unit 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 ArgumentException.

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