Examples

The following example displays each SqlError within the SqlErrorCollection collection.

public void DisplaySqlErrors(SqlException exception)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < exception.Errors.Count; i++)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Index #" + i + "\n" +
            "Source: " + exception.Errors[i].Source + "\n" +
            "Number: " + exception.Errors[i].Number.ToString() + "\n" +
            "State: " + exception.Errors[i].State.ToString() + "\n" +
            "Class: " + exception.Errors[i].Class.ToString() + "\n" +
            "Server: " + exception.Errors[i].Server + "\n" +
            "Message: " + exception.Errors[i].Message + "\n" +
            "Procedure: " + exception.Errors[i].Procedure + "\n" +
            "LineNumber: " + exception.Errors[i].LineNumber.ToString());
    }
    Console.ReadLine();
}
Public Sub DisplaySqlErrors(ByVal exception As SqlException)
    Dim i As Integer

    For i = 0 To exception.Errors.Count - 1
        Console.WriteLine(("Index #" & i & ControlChars.NewLine & _
            "Source: " & exception.Errors(i).Source & ControlChars.NewLine & _
            "Number: " & exception.Errors(i).Number.ToString() & ControlChars.NewLine & _
            "State: " & exception.Errors(i).State.ToString() & ControlChars.NewLine & _
            "Class: " & exception.Errors(i).Class.ToString() & ControlChars.NewLine & _
            "Server: " & exception.Errors(i).Server & ControlChars.NewLine & _
            "Message: " & exception.Errors(i).Message & ControlChars.NewLine & _
            "Procedure: " & exception.Errors(i).Procedure & ControlChars.NewLine & _
            "LineNumber: " & exception.Errors(i).LineNumber.ToString()))
    Next i
    Console.ReadLine()
End Sub

Remarks

Some error messages can be raised at multiple points in the code for the Database Engine. For example, an 1105 error can be raised for several different conditions. Each specific condition that raises an error assigns a unique state code.

State is only set for errors that are received from the server.
