Exception::TargetSite Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets the method that throws the current exception.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Implements
_Exception::TargetSiteIf the method that throws this exception is not available and the stack trace is not a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), TargetSite obtains the method from the stack trace. If the stack trace is a null reference, TargetSite also returns a null reference.
Note |
|---|
The TargetSite property may not accurately report the name of the method in which an exception was thrown if the exception handler handles an exception across application domain boundaries. |
The following code example throws an Exception and then catches it and displays the originating method using the TargetSite property.
// Example for the Exception::HelpLink, Exception::Source, // Exception::StackTrace, and Exception::TargetSite properties. using namespace System; namespace NDP_UE_CPP { // Derive an exception; the constructor sets the HelpLink and // Source properties. public ref class LogTableOverflowException: public Exception { private: static String^ overflowMessage = "The log table has overflowed."; public: LogTableOverflowException( String^ auxMessage, Exception^ inner ) : Exception( String::Format( "{0} - {1}", overflowMessage, auxMessage ), inner ) { this->HelpLink = "http://msdn.microsoft.com"; this->Source = "Exception_Class_Samples"; } }; public ref class LogTable { public: LogTable( int numElements ) { logArea = gcnew array<String^>(numElements); elemInUse = 0; } protected: array<String^>^logArea; int elemInUse; public: // The AddRecord method throws a derived exception if // the array bounds exception is caught. int AddRecord( String^ newRecord ) { try { logArea[ elemInUse ] = newRecord; return elemInUse++; } catch ( Exception^ ex ) { throw gcnew LogTableOverflowException( String::Format( "Record \"{0}\" was not logged.", newRecord ),ex ); } } }; // Create a log table and force an overflow. void ForceOverflow() { LogTable^ log = gcnew LogTable( 4 ); try { for ( int count = 1; ; count++ ) { log->AddRecord( String::Format( "Log record number {0}", count ) ); } } catch ( Exception^ ex ) { Console::WriteLine( "\nMessage ---\n{0}", ex->Message ); Console::WriteLine( "\nHelpLink ---\n{0}", ex->HelpLink ); Console::WriteLine( "\nSource ---\n{0}", ex->Source ); Console::WriteLine( "\nStackTrace ---\n{0}", ex->StackTrace ); Console::WriteLine( "\nTargetSite ---\n{0}", ex->TargetSite->ToString() ); } } } int main() { Console::WriteLine( "This example of \n Exception::Message, \n" " Exception::HelpLink, \n Exception::Source, \n" " Exception::StackTrace, and \n Exception::" "TargetSite \ngenerates the following output." ); NDP_UE_CPP::ForceOverflow(); } /* This example of Exception::Message, Exception::HelpLink, Exception::Source, Exception::StackTrace, and Exception::TargetSite generates the following output.

HelpLink --- http://msdn.microsoft.com Source --- Exception_Class_Samples StackTrace --- at NDP_UE_CPP.LogTable.AddRecord(String newRecord) at NDP_UE_CPP.ForceOverflow() TargetSite --- Int32 AddRecord(System.String) */
