The exception that is thrown when a decoder fallback operation fails. This class cannot be inherited.

System.Text::DecoderFallbackException
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The DecoderFallbackException type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | DecoderFallbackException() | Initializes a new instance of the DecoderFallbackException class. |
![]() ![]() | DecoderFallbackException(String) | Initializes a new instance of the DecoderFallbackException class. A parameter specifies the error message. |
![]() ![]() | DecoderFallbackException(String, Exception) | Initializes a new instance of the DecoderFallbackException class. Parameters specify the error message and the inner exception that is the cause of this exception. |
![]() ![]() | DecoderFallbackException(String, array<Byte>, Int32) | Initializes a new instance of the DecoderFallbackException class. Parameters specify the error message, the array of bytes being decoded, and the index of the byte that cannot be decoded. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | BytesUnknown | Gets the input byte sequence that caused the exception. |
![]() | 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.) |
![]() ![]() | Index | Gets the index position in the input byte sequence of the byte that caused the exception. |
![]() ![]() | InnerException | Gets the Exception instance that caused the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | Message | Gets the error message and the parameter name, or only the error message if no parameter name is set. (Inherited from ArgumentException.) |
![]() | ParamName | Gets the name of the parameter that causes this exception. (Inherited from ArgumentException.) |
![]() | 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 object with the parameter name and additional exception information. (Inherited from ArgumentException.) |
![]() | 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.) |
The following code example demonstrates the DecoderExceptionFallback and DecoderFallbackException classes.
// This example demonstrates the DecoderExceptionFallback class. using namespace System; using namespace System::Text; int main() { // Create an encoding, which is equivalent to calling the // ASCIIEncoding class constructor. // The DecoderExceptionFallback parameter specifies that an exception // is thrown if a character cannot be encoded. // An encoder exception fallback is also specified, but in this code // example the encoding operation cannot fail. Encoding^ asciiEncoding = Encoding::GetEncoding("us-ascii", gcnew EncoderExceptionFallback(), gcnew DecoderExceptionFallback()); String^ inputString = "XYZ"; String^ decodedString; String^ twoNewLines = Environment::NewLine + Environment::NewLine ; array<Byte>^ encodedBytes = gcnew array<Byte>(asciiEncoding->GetByteCount(inputString)); int numberOfEncodedBytes = 0; // --------------------------------------------------------------------- Console::Clear(); // Display the name of the encoding. Console::WriteLine("The name of the encoding is \"{0}\".{1}", asciiEncoding->WebName, Environment::NewLine); // Display the input string in text. Console::WriteLine("Input string ({0} characters): \"{1}\"", inputString->Length, inputString); // Display the input string in hexadecimal. Console::Write("Input string in hexadecimal: "); for each (char c in inputString) { Console::Write("0x{0:X2} ", c); } Console::Write(twoNewLines); // --------------------------------------------------------------------- // Encode the input string. Console::WriteLine("Encode the input string..."); numberOfEncodedBytes = asciiEncoding->GetBytes(inputString, 0, inputString->Length, encodedBytes, 0); // Display the encoded bytes. Console::WriteLine("Encoded bytes in hexadecimal ({0} bytes):{1}", numberOfEncodedBytes, Environment::NewLine); for each (Byte b in encodedBytes) { Console::Write("0x{0:X2} ", b); } Console::Write(twoNewLines); // --------------------------------------------------------------------- // Replace the encoded byte sequences for the characters 'X' and 'Z' // with the value 0xFF, which is outside the valid range of 0x00 to 0x7F // for ASCIIEncoding. The resulting byte sequence is actually the // beginning of this code example because it is the input to the decoder // operation, and is equivalent to a corrupted or improperly encoded // byte sequence. encodedBytes[0] = 0xFF; encodedBytes[2] = 0xFF; Console::WriteLine("Display the corrupted byte sequence..."); Console::WriteLine("Encoded bytes in hexadecimal ({0} bytes):{1}", numberOfEncodedBytes, Environment::NewLine); for each (Byte b in encodedBytes) { Console::Write("0x{0:X2} ", b); } Console::Write(twoNewLines); // --------------------------------------------------------------------- // Attempt to decode the encoded bytes. However, an exception is thrown // before the byte sequence can be decoded. Console::WriteLine("Compare the decoded bytes to the input string..."); try { decodedString = asciiEncoding->GetString(encodedBytes); // This statement is never executed. Console::WriteLine("This statement is never executed."); } catch (DecoderFallbackException^ ex) { Console::WriteLine(ex); Console::WriteLine( "{0}*** THE CODE EXAMPLE TERMINATES HERE AS INTENDED. ***", Environment::NewLine); } } /* This code example produces the following results: The name of the encoding is "us-ascii".
