Remarks

The information provided by the ErrorDetails object is accessed through the ErrorRecord.ErrorDetails property. Cmdlets can use this detailed information when they need to display a more specific error message than the exception message contained in an exception, without having to create a new exception or define a new exception class. Note that the exception message is a read-only property.

For more information about error records, see Windows PowerShell Error Records.

The ErrorDetails class is used only by the Windows PowerShell runtime. There are no established scenarios for deriving from this class.
