The AggregateException type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
   | AggregateException() | Initializes a new instance of the AggregateException class with a system-supplied message that describes the error. |
| AggregateException(IEnumerable<Exception>) | Initializes a new instance of the AggregateException class with references to the inner exceptions that are the cause of this exception. |
| AggregateException(Exception[]) | Initializes a new instance of the AggregateException class with references to the inner exceptions that are the cause of this exception. |
| AggregateException(String) | Initializes a new instance of the AggregateException class with a specified message that describes the error. |
| AggregateException(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) | Initializes a new instance of the AggregateException class with serialized data. |
| AggregateException(String, IEnumerable<Exception>) | Initializes a new instance of the AggregateException class with a specified error message and references to the inner exceptions that are the cause of this exception. |
| AggregateException(String, Exception) | Initializes a new instance of the AggregateException class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception. |
| AggregateException(String, Exception[]) | Initializes a new instance of the AggregateException class with a specified error message and references to the inner exceptions that are the cause of this exception. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Data | Gets a collection of key/value pairs that provide additional user-defined information about the exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| 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.) |
| InnerExceptions | Gets a read-only collection of the Exception instances that caused the current exception. |
| Message | Gets a message that describes the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| 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.) |
| Flatten | Flattens an AggregateException instances into a single, new instance. |
| GetBaseException | Returns the AggregateException that is the root cause of this exception. (Overrides Exception.GetBaseException().) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetObjectData | Initializes a new instance of the AggregateException class with serialized data. (Overrides Exception.GetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext).) |
| GetType | Gets the runtime type of the current instance. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| Handle | Invokes a handler on each Exception contained by this AggregateException. |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Creates and returns a string representation of the current AggregateException. (Overrides Exception.ToString().) |
| 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.) |
AggregateException is used to consolidate multiple failures into a single, throwable exception object. It is used extensively in the Task Parallel Library (TPL) and Parallel LINQ (PLINQ). For additional information, see the Aggregating Exceptions entry in the .NET Matters blog. For an example, see How to: Handle Exceptions Thrown by Tasks and How to: Handle Exceptions in a PLINQ Query.
Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
