MissingMethodException Class
The exception that is thrown when there is an attempt to dynamically access a method that does not exist.
System::Exception
System::SystemException
System::MemberAccessException
System::MissingMemberException
System::MissingMethodException
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The MissingMethodException type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() | MissingMethodException() | Initializes a new instance of the MissingMethodException class. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | MissingMethodException(String) | Initializes a new instance of the MissingMethodException class with a specified error message. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | MissingMethodException(String, Exception) | Initializes a new instance of the MissingMethodException class with a specified error message 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.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 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 text string showing the class name, the method name, and the signature of the missing method. This property is read-only. (Overrides MissingMemberException::Message.) In Silverlight for Windows Phone, this member is overridden by Message. In XNA Framework, this member is overridden by Message. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | StackTrace | Gets a string representation of the frames on the call stack at the time the current exception was thrown. (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 the Object 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.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 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 | Creates and returns a string representation of the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
Normally a compilation error is generated if code attempts to access a nonexistent method of a class. MissingMethodException is designed to handle cases where an attempt is made to dynamically access a renamed or deleted method of an assembly that is not referenced by its strong name. MissingMethodException is thrown when code in a dependent assembly attempts to access a missing method in an assembly that was modified.
For a list of initial property values for an instance of MissingMethodException, see the MissingMethodException constructors.
This example shows what happens if you attempt to use reflection to call a method that does not exist and access a field that does not exist. The application recovers by catching the MissingMethodException, MissingFieldException, and MissingMemberException.
