The following code example shows how to catch an InvalidEnumArgumentException exception and interpret its content. The example attempts to pass an invalid enumeration value (MessageBoxButtons) through casting, as the MessageBox.Show method's third argument. Upon catching the exception, the example fetches the respective error message, the invalid parameter, stack trace, and origin of the exception.
Try ' Attempts to pass an invalid enum value (MessageBoxButtons) to the Show method Dim myButton As MessageBoxButtons myButton = CType(123, MessageBoxButtons) MessageBox.Show("This is a message", "This is the Caption", myButton) Catch invE As System.ComponentModel.InvalidEnumArgumentException Console.WriteLine(invE.Message) Console.WriteLine(invE.ParamName) Console.WriteLine(invE.StackTrace) Console.WriteLine(invE.Source) End Try
try {
// Attempts to pass an invalid enum value (MessageBoxButtons)
// to the Show method
MessageBoxButtons myButton = (MessageBoxButtons)123;
MessageBox.Show("This is a message",
"This is the Caption", myButton);
}
catch (InvalidEnumArgumentException invE) {
Console.WriteLine(invE.get_Message());
Console.WriteLine(invE.get_ParamName());
Console.WriteLine(invE.get_StackTrace());
Console.WriteLine(invE.get_Source());
