Contract::Assert Method (Boolean, String^)

 

Checks for a condition; if the condition is false, follows the escalation policy set by the analyzer and displays the specified message.

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

public:
[ConditionalAttribute("DEBUG")]
[ConditionalAttribute("CONTRACTS_FULL")]
static void Assert(
	bool condition,
	String^ userMessage
)

Parameters

condition
Type: System::Boolean

The conditional expression to test.

userMessage
Type: System::String^

A message to display if the condition is not met.

The default escalation policy is to notify the attached debugger about a contract failure or to display an Assert dialog box if a debugger is not attached. Optionally, the analyzer can be instructed to throw an exception. The userMessage parameter is passed to the debugger output. If userMessage is not a constant string literal, tools may not be able to read it.
