Remarks

NoteNote:

In Silverlight, this exception is thrown when the just-in-time (JIT) compiler detects a call to a member that has the SecurityCriticalAttribute attribute. Such members cannot be used in Silverlight-based applications.

MemberAccessException is the base class for FieldAccessException, MethodAccessException, MissingMemberException, MissingMethodException, and MissingFieldException. These exceptions are thrown when a class member is not found or access to the member is not permitted.

MemberAccessException can be thrown when reflection is used for late-bound access to members. For example, it can be thrown by the following methods: Type.InvokeMember, MethodBase.Invoke, FieldInfo.GetValue, and Delegate.DynamicInvoke.

MemberAccessException uses the HRESULT COR_E_MEMBERACCESS, which has the value 0x8013151A.

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