The MethodAccessException type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() | 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. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | MethodAccessException(String) | Initializes a new instance of the MethodAccessException class with a specified error message. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 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 | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() | Data | Gets a collection of key/value pairs that provide additional user-defined information about the 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.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | StackTrace | Gets a string representation of the frames on the call stack at the time the current exception was thrown. (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 the Object 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.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | GetType | Gets the runtime type of the current instance. (Inherited from Exception.) |

![]() ![]() ![]() | ToString | Creates and returns a string representation of the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
This exception is typically thrown when the access level of a method in a class library is changed, and one or more assemblies referencing the library have not been recompiled.
MethodAccessException uses the HRESULT COR_E_METHODACCESS, that has the value 0x80131510.
