| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Action | Gets the value of the SOAP action for the fault message. (Inherited from FaultException.) |
![]() | Code | Gets the fault code for the SOAP fault. (Inherited from FaultException.) |
![]() | 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 | Gets the Exception instance that caused the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | Message | Gets the message for the exception. (Inherited from FaultException.) |
![]() | Reason | Gets the FaultReason for the SOAP fault. (Inherited from FaultException.) |
![]() | 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.) |
![]() | StatusCode | Gets the HttpStatusCode associated with the fault. |
![]() | TargetSite | Gets the method that throws the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | CreateMessageFault | Returns a MessageFault object. (Inherited from FaultException.) |
![]() | 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 | An implementation of the GetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) method that is called when an object is serialized to a stream. (Overrides FaultException::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 | 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.) |
When using a WCF REST endpoint (WebHttpBinding and WebHttpBehavior or WebScriptEnablingBehavior) the HTTP status code on the response is set accordingly. However, WebFaultException can be used with non-REST endpoints and behaves like a regular FaultException.
When using a WCF REST endpoint, the response format of the serialized fault is determined in the same way as a non-fault response. For more information about WCF REST formatting, see WCF REST Formatting.
