CryptographicException Class
.NET Framework 3.5
The exception that is thrown when an error occurs during a cryptographic operation.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The following code example demonstrates how to use members of the CryptographicException class.
using namespace System; using namespace System::Text; using namespace System::Security::Cryptography; using namespace System::Runtime::Serialization; ref class CryptographicExceptionMembers { public: static void Run() { CryptographicExceptionMembers^ testRun = gcnew CryptographicExceptionMembers; testRun->TestConstructors(); testRun->ShowProperties(); Console::WriteLine( L"This sample ended successfully; " L" press Enter to exit." ); Console::ReadLine(); } private: // Test each public implementation of the CryptographicException // constructors. void TestConstructors() { EmptyConstructor(); IntConstructor(); StringConstructor(); StringExceptionConstructor(); StringStringConstructor(); } void EmptyConstructor() { // Construct a CryptographicException with no parameters. CryptographicException^ cryptographicException = gcnew CryptographicException; Console::WriteLine( L"Created an empty CryptographicException." ); } void IntConstructor() { // Construct a CryptographicException using the error code for an // unexpected operation exception. int exceptionNumber = (int)0x80131431; CryptographicException^ cryptographicException = gcnew CryptographicException( exceptionNumber ); Console::WriteLine( L"Created a CryptographicException with the " L"following error code: {0}", exceptionNumber ); } void StringConstructor() { // Construct a CryptographicException using a custom error message. String^ errorMessage = (L"Unexpected Operation exception."); CryptographicException^ cryptographicException = gcnew CryptographicException( errorMessage ); Console::WriteLine( L"Created a CryptographicException with the " L"following error message: {0}", errorMessage ); } void StringExceptionConstructor() { // Construct a CryptographicException using a custom error message // and an inner exception. String^ errorMessage = (L"The current operation is not supported."); NullReferenceException^ nullException = gcnew NullReferenceException; CryptographicException^ cryptographicException = gcnew CryptographicException( errorMessage,nullException ); Console::WriteLine( L"Created a CryptographicException with the " L"following error message: {0} and the inner exception of {1}", errorMessage, nullException ); } void StringStringConstructor() { // Create a CryptographicException using a time format and a the // current date. String^ dateFormat = L"{0:t}"; String^ timeStamp = (DateTime::Now.ToString()); CryptographicException^ cryptographicException = gcnew CryptographicException( dateFormat,timeStamp ); Console::WriteLine( L"Created a CryptographicException with ({0}) as the format and ({1}) as the message.", dateFormat, timeStamp ); } // Construct an invalid DSACryptoServiceProvider to throw a // CryptographicException for introspection. void ShowProperties() { try { // Create a DSACryptoServiceProvider with invalid provider type // code to throw a CryptographicException exception.

System::Exception^ baseException = ex->GetBaseException(); String^ baseExceptionMessage = L""; if ( baseException != nullptr ) { baseExceptionMessage = baseException->Message; } Console::WriteLine( L"Caught an expected exception:" ); Console::WriteLine( entireException ); Console::WriteLine( L"\n" ); Console::WriteLine( L"Properties of the exception are as follows:" ); Console::WriteLine( L"Message: {0}", message ); Console::WriteLine( L"Source: {0}", exceptionSource ); Console::WriteLine( L"Stack trace: {0}", stackTrace ); Console::WriteLine( L"Help link: {0}", helpLink ); Console::WriteLine( L"Target site's name: {0}", siteName ); Console::WriteLine( L"Base exception message: {0}", baseExceptionMessage ); Console::WriteLine( L"Inner exception message: {0}", innerExceptionMessage ); } } void setSerializationInfo( interior_ptr<CryptographicException^> ex ) { // Insert information about the exception into a serialized object.
