[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Gets the text string showing the class name, the member name, and the signature of the missing member.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
If the class name is not specified when the object is constructed, the default text string inherited from the base class is returned.
This property overrides Message. The error message should be localized.
This property is read-only.
The following example demonstrates the Message property. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the MissingMemberException class.
Try ' Attempt to access a static AnotherField field defined in the Example class. ' However, because the Example class does not define this field, ' a MissingFieldException is thrown. GetType(Example).InvokeMember("AnotherField", BindingFlags.Static Or BindingFlags.GetField, _ Nothing, Nothing, Nothing) Catch e As MissingMemberException ' Notice that this code is catching MissingMemberException which is the ' base class of MissingMethodException and MissingFieldException. ' Show the user that the AnotherField field cannot be accessed. outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Unable to access the AnotherField field: {0}", e.Message) & vbCrLf End Try End Sub
