UnhandledExceptionEventArgs::ExceptionObject Property

 

Gets the unhandled exception object.

Namespace:   System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
property Object^ ExceptionObject {
	Object^ get();
}

Property Value

Type: System::Object^

The unhandled exception object.

This property returns an object of type Object rather than one derived from Exception. Although the Common Language Specification requires that all exception types derive from Exception, it is possible for methods to throw exceptions with objects not derived from Exception. You can do the following to work with this exception:

The following example demonstrates the UnhandledException event. It defines an event handler, MyHandler, that is invoked whenever an unhandled exception is thrown in the default application domain. It then throws two exceptions. The first is handled by a try/catch block. The second is unhandled and invokes the MyHandle routine before the application terminates.

// The example should be compiled with the /clr:pure compiler option.
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Security::Permissions;

public ref class Example
{


private:
   static void MyHandler(Object^ sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs^ args)
   {
      Exception^ e = dynamic_cast<Exception^>(args->ExceptionObject);
      Console::WriteLine( "MyHandler caught : {0}", e->Message );
      Console::WriteLine("Runtime terminating: {0}", args->IsTerminating);
   }

public: 
   [SecurityPermissionAttribute( SecurityAction::Demand, ControlAppDomain = true )]
   static void Main()
   {
      AppDomain^ currentDomain = AppDomain::CurrentDomain;
      currentDomain->UnhandledException += gcnew UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(Example::MyHandler);
      try
      {
         throw gcnew Exception("1");
      }
      catch (Exception^ e) 
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "Catch clause caught : {0}\n", e->Message );
      }

      throw gcnew Exception("2");
   }
};

void main()
{
   Example::Main();
}   
// The example displays the following output:
//       Catch clause caught : 1
//       
//       MyHandler caught : 2
//       Runtime terminating: True
//       
//       Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: 2
//          at Example.Main()
//          at mainCRTStartup(String[] arguments)
