| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |

![]() | GetBaseException() | |
![]() | GetHashCode() | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) | Gets information about the exception and adds it to the SerializationInfo object.(Overrides Exception.GetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext).) |
![]() | 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.) |
The LinqDataSourceValidationException class contains type conversion and property setter exceptions. All of the exceptions that are thrown during validation are contained in the InnerExceptions collection. You can retrieve each validation exception by iterating through the InnerExceptions collection.
You typically handle exceptions in the Updating, Deleting, and Inserting events. If a validation exception is thrown, the Exception property of the LinqDataSourceUpdateEventArgs, LinqDataSourceDeleteEventArgs, or LinqDataSourceInsertEventArgs object contains a LinqDataSourceValidationException object. If no exception is thrown, the Exception property contains null.
To handle validation exceptions, create a handler for the Updating, Deleting, or Inserting event. In the event handler, check whether the Exception property of the event argument class contains a value other than null. If the Exception property is not null, one or more validation exceptions were thrown and you can retrieve each validation exception in the InnerExceptions property.
A validation exception can occur if a value does not match the type of the property. For example, trying to update an integer property by using non-numeric characters causes a validation exception. A LINQ to SQL class can also contain customized validation criteria that make sure that the property contains a value that is within an expected range or pattern.
The following example shows an event handler for the Updating event. It displays any validation exception messages by using a Label control.
Protected Sub LinqDataSource_Updating(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As LinqDataSourceUpdateEventArgs) If (e.Exception IsNot Nothing) Then For Each innerException As KeyValuePair(Of String, Exception) _ In e.Exception.InnerExceptions Label1.Text &= innerException.Key & ": " & _ innerException.Value.Message & "<br />" Next e.ExceptionHandled = True End If End Sub
[C#]
protected void LinqDataSource_Updating(object sender,
LinqDataSourceUpdateEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Exception != null)
{
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, Exception> innerException in
e.Exception.InnerExceptions)
{
Label1.Text += innerException.Key + ": " +
innerException.Value.Message + "<br />";
}
e.ExceptionHandled = true;
}
}
