[<System.Obsolete("This API supports obsolete formatter-based serialization. It should not be called or extended by application code.", DiagnosticId="SYSLIB0051", UrlFormat="https://aka.ms/dotnet-warnings/{0}")>]
new System.Reflection.TargetException : System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo * System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext -> System.Reflection.TargetException

Attributes

Applies to

TargetException(String, Exception)

Initializes a new instance of the TargetException class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception.

public:
 TargetException(System::String ^ message, Exception ^ inner);
public TargetException (string? message, Exception? inner);
public TargetException (string message, Exception inner);
new System.Reflection.TargetException : string * Exception -> System.Reflection.TargetException
Public Sub New (message As String, inner As Exception)

Parameters

message
String

The error message that explains the reason for the exception.

inner
Exception

The exception that is the cause of the current exception. If the inner parameter is not null, the current exception is raised in a catch block that handles the inner exception.

Remarks

An exception that is thrown as a direct result of a previous exception should include a reference to the previous exception in the InnerException property. The InnerException property returns the same value that is passed into the constructor, or null if the InnerException property does not supply the inner exception value to the constructor.

The following table shows the initial property values for an instance of TargetException.

Property Value
InnerException The inner exception reference.
Message The error message string.
