Assembly: System.Runtime.Serialization (in System.Runtime.Serialization.dll)
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | InvalidDataContractException() | Initializes a new instance of the InvalidDataContractException class. |
![]() | InvalidDataContractException(SerializationInfo^, StreamingContext) | Initializes a new instance of the InvalidDataContractException class with the specified SerializationInfo and StreamingContext. |
![]() | InvalidDataContractException(String^) | Initializes a new instance of the InvalidDataContractException class with the specified error message. |
![]() | InvalidDataContractException(String^, Exception^) | Initializes a new instance of the InvalidDataContractException class with the specified error message and inner exception. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Data | Gets a collection of key/value pairs that provide additional user-defined information about the exception.(Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | 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 | |
![]() | Message | Gets a message that describes the current exception.(Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | 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() | |
![]() | GetHashCode() | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetObjectData(SerializationInfo^, StreamingContext) | When overridden in a derived class, sets the SerializationInfo with information about the exception.(Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | GetType() | Gets the runtime type of the current instance.(Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone() | |
![]() | ToString() | Creates and returns a string representation of the current exception.(Inherited from Exception.) |
| 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.) |
An instance of this type will be thrown if the DataContractSerializer or NetDataContractSerializer detects that the type of the instance being serialized or deserialized is invalid. An instance of this type will also be thrown if an invalid type is passed to the schema import or export engine.
The following example shows a service contract, ICalculator, that includes two methods, Add and MoreData. The MoreData method returns an instance of the ExtraData class, which is also declared in the code. When the implemented interface Calculator runs, an InvalidDataContractException will be thrown because the ExtraData class does not have the DataContractAttribute applied to it.
