Remarks

AmbiguousMatchException uses the HRESULT COR_E_AMBIGUOUSMATCH which has the value 0x8000211D.

An AmbiguousMatchException is thrown when a member is invoked late-bound and multiple overloads satisfy the binding criteria, or when more than one member matches the binding criteria passed to a reflection method that can return only a single result (for example, Type.GetMethod or Type.GetProperty).

Constructors

AmbiguousMatchException()	Initializes a new instance of the AmbiguousMatchException class with an empty message string and the root cause exception set to `null`.
AmbiguousMatchException(String)	Initializes a new instance of the AmbiguousMatchException class with its message string set to the given message and the root cause exception set to `null`.
AmbiguousMatchException(String, Exception)	Initializes a new instance of the AmbiguousMatchException class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception.

Properties
