    userMessage As String, _
    conditionText As String, _
    innerException As Exception _
)

[DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute]
public static void TriggerFailure(
    ContractFailureKind kind,
    string displayMessage,
    string userMessage,
    string conditionText,
    Exception innerException
)

Parameters

  • conditionText
    Type: System.String
    The description of the condition that caused the failure.
  • innerException
    Type: System.Exception

The default failure behavior is to raise an Assert, which causes the Assert dialog box to be displayed. You can change that behavior to throw an Exception instead of displaying the dialog box.
