![]() | SerializeObjectState | Occurs when an exception is serialized to create an exception state object that contains serialized data about the exception.(Inherited from Exception.) |
Trying to divide an integer or Decimal number by zero throws a DivideByZeroException exception. To prevent the exception, ensure that the denominator in a division operation with integer or Decimal values is non-zero.
Dividing a floating-point value by zero doesn't throw an exception; it results in positive infinity, negative infinity, or not a number (NaN), according to the rules of IEEE 754 arithmetic. Because the following example uses floating-point division rather than integer division, the operation does not throw a DivideByZeroException exception.
For more information, see Single and Double.
The following Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instructions throw DivideByZeroException:
div
div.un
rem
rem.un
DivideByZeroException uses the HRESULT COR_E_DIVIDEBYZERO, which has the value 0x80020012.
