The NetworkInformationException type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|

| NetworkInformationException(Int32) | Initializes a new instance of the NetworkInformationException class with the specified error code. |
 | NetworkInformationException(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) | Initializes a new instance of the NetworkInformationException class with serialized data. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Data | Gets a collection of key/value pairs that provide additional user-defined information about the exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| ErrorCode | Gets the Win32 error code for this exception. (Overrides ExternalException.ErrorCode.) |
| HelpLink | Gets or sets a link to the help file associated with this exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| HResult | Gets or sets HRESULT, a coded numerical value that is assigned to a specific exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| InnerException | Gets the Exception instance that caused the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| Message | Gets a message that describes the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| NativeErrorCode | Gets the Win32 error code associated with this exception. (Inherited from Win32Exception.) |
| Source | Gets or sets the name of the application or the object that causes the error. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| StackTrace | Gets a string representation of the immediate frames on the call stack. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| TargetSite | Gets the method that throws the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| Name | Description | |

| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetBaseException | When overridden in a derived class, returns the Exception that is the root cause of one or more subsequent exceptions. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetObjectData | Sets the SerializationInfo object with the file name and line number at which this Win32Exception occurred. (Inherited from Win32Exception.) |
| GetType | Gets the runtime type of the current instance. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that contains the HRESULT of the error. (Inherited from ExternalException.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | SerializeObjectState | Occurs when an exception is serialized to create an exception state object that contains serialized data about the exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
Types in the System.Net.NetworkInformation namespace throw this exception when a call to a Win32 function fails. The ErrorCode property contains the result returned by the function.
