The FileLoadException type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | FileLoadException() | Initializes a new instance of the FileLoadException class, setting the Message property of the new instance to a system-supplied message that describes the error, such as "Could not load the specified file." This message takes into account the current system culture. |
![]() | FileLoadException(String) | Initializes a new instance of the FileLoadException class with the specified error message. |
![]() | FileLoadException(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) | Initializes a new instance of the FileLoadException class with serialized data. |
![]() | FileLoadException(String, Exception) | Initializes a new instance of the FileLoadException class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception. |
![]() | FileLoadException(String, String) | Initializes a new instance of the FileLoadException class with a specified error message and the name of the file that could not be loaded. |
![]() | FileLoadException(String, String, Exception) | Initializes a new instance of the FileLoadException class with a specified error message, the name of the file that could not be loaded, and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Data | Gets a collection of key/value pairs that provide additional user-defined information about the exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | FileName | Gets the name of the file that causes this exception. |
![]() | FusionLog | Gets the log file that describes why an assembly load failed. |
![]() | HelpLink | Gets or sets a link to the help file associated with this exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | HResult | Gets or sets HRESULT, a coded numerical value that is assigned to a specific exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | InnerException | Gets the Exception instance that caused the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | Message | Gets the error message and the name of the file that caused this exception. (Overrides Exception.Message.) |
![]() | Source | Gets or sets the name of the application or the object that causes the error. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | StackTrace | Gets a string representation of the immediate frames on the call stack. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | TargetSite | Gets the method that throws the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetBaseException | When overridden in a derived class, returns the Exception that is the root cause of one or more subsequent exceptions. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetObjectData | Sets the SerializationInfo with the file name and additional exception information. (Overrides Exception.GetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext).) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the runtime type of the current instance. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns the fully qualified name of the current exception, and possibly the error message, the name of the inner exception, and the stack trace. (Overrides Exception.ToString().) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | SerializeObjectState | Occurs when an exception is serialized to create an exception state object that contains serialized data about the exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
Represents the error that occurs when a Assembly file is found but cannot be loaded.
The FileNotFoundException exception is thrown when the file fails to load because it cannot be located. If the file is located, but cannot be loaded due to insufficient permissions, a SecurityException is thrown.
FileLoadException has the default HRESULT of COR_E_FILELOAD, which has the value 0x80131621, but this is not the only possible HRESULT.
If your code does not have PathDiscovery permission, the error message for this exception may only contain file or directory names instead of fully qualified paths.
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
