public class MethodAccessException : MemberAccessException

The MethodAccessException type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework MethodAccessException() Initializes a new instance of the MethodAccessException class, setting the Message property of the new instance to a system-supplied message that describes the error, such as "Attempt to access the method failed." This message takes into account the current system culture.
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework MethodAccessException(String) Initializes a new instance of the MethodAccessException class with a specified error message.
Protected method MethodAccessException(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) Initializes a new instance of the MethodAccessException class with serialized data.
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework MethodAccessException(String, Exception) Initializes a new instance of the MethodAccessException class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception.

  Name Description
Public property Data Gets a collection of key/value pairs that provide additional user-defined information about the exception. (Inherited from Exception.)
Public property HelpLink Gets or sets a link to the help file associated with this exception. (Inherited from Exception.)
Protected property Supported by the XNA Framework HResult Gets or sets HRESULT, a coded numerical value that is assigned to a specific exception. (Inherited from Exception.)
Public property Supported by the XNA Framework InnerException Gets the Exception instance that caused the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.)
Public property Supported by the XNA Framework Message Gets a message that describes the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.)
Public property Source Gets or sets the name of the application or the object that causes the error. (Inherited from Exception.)
Public property Supported by the XNA Framework StackTrace Gets a string representation of the immediate frames on the call stack. (Inherited from Exception.)
Public property TargetSite Gets the method that throws the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.)
Top
  Name Description
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework GetBaseException When overridden in a derived class, returns the Exception that is the root cause of one or more subsequent exceptions. (Inherited from Exception.)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetObjectData When overridden in a derived class, sets the SerializationInfo with information about the exception. (Inherited from Exception.)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework GetType Gets the runtime type of the current instance. (Inherited from Exception.)

In XNA Framework 3.0, this member is inherited from Object.GetType().
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework ToString Creates and returns a string representation of the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.)

  Name Description
Protected event SerializeObjectState Occurs when an exception is serialized to create an exception state object that contains serialized data about the exception. (Inherited from Exception.)

This exception is thrown in situations such as the following:

  • A private, protected, or internal method that would not be accessible from normal compiled code is accessed from partially trusted code by using reflection.

  • A security-critical method is accessed from transparent code.

  • The access level of a method in a class library has changed, and one or more assemblies that reference the library have not been recompiled.

Note Note

Beginning with the .NET Framework version 4, the common language runtime treats application code as transparent when it is run with partial trust. See Security Considerations for Reflection.

MethodAccessException uses the HRESULT COR_E_METHODACCESS, that has the value 0x80131510.

For a list of initial property values for an instance of MethodAccessException, see the MethodAccessException constructors.
