Property Value
Type: System::String^The name of the application or the object that causes the error.
Implements
_Exception::Source| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | The object must be a runtime System.Reflection object |
If the Source property is not set explicitly, the runtime automatically sets it to the name of the assembly in which the exception originated.
The following example throws an Exception that sets the Source property in its constructor and then catches the exception and displays Source.
// Example for the Exception::HelpLink, Exception::Source, // Exception::StackTrace, and Exception::TargetSite properties. using namespace System; namespace NDP_UE_CPP { // Derive an exception; the constructor sets the HelpLink and // Source properties. public ref class LogTableOverflowException: public Exception { private: static String^ overflowMessage = "The log table has overflowed."; public: LogTableOverflowException( String^ auxMessage, Exception^ inner ) : Exception( String::Format( "{0} - {1}", overflowMessage, auxMessage ), inner ) { this->HelpLink = "http://msdn.microsoft.com"; this->Source = "Exception_Class_Samples"; } }; public ref class LogTable { public: LogTable( int numElements ) { logArea = gcnew array<String^>(numElements); elemInUse = 0; } protected: array<String^>^logArea; int elemInUse; public: // The AddRecord method throws a derived exception if // the array bounds exception is caught. int AddRecord( String^ newRecord ) { try { logArea[ elemInUse ] = newRecord; return elemInUse++; } catch ( Exception^ ex ) { throw gcnew LogTableOverflowException( String::Format( "Record \"{0}\" was not logged.", newRecord ),ex ); } } }; // Create a log table and force an overflow. void ForceOverflow() { LogTable^ log = gcnew LogTable( 4 ); try { for ( int count = 1; ; count++ ) { log->AddRecord( String::Format( "Log record number {0}", count ) ); } } catch ( Exception^ ex ) { Console::WriteLine( "\nMessage ---\n{0}", ex->Message ); Console::WriteLine( "\nHelpLink ---\n{0}", ex->HelpLink ); Console::WriteLine( "\nSource ---\n{0}", ex->Source ); Console::WriteLine( "\nStackTrace ---\n{0}", ex->StackTrace ); Console::WriteLine( "\nTargetSite ---\n{0}", ex->TargetSite->ToString() ); } } } int main() { Console::WriteLine( "This example of \n Exception::Message, \n" " Exception::HelpLink, \n Exception::Source, \n" " Exception::StackTrace, and \n Exception::" "TargetSite \ngenerates the following output." ); NDP_UE_CPP::ForceOverflow(); } /* This example of Exception::Message, Exception::HelpLink, Exception::Source, Exception::StackTrace, and Exception::TargetSite generates the following output.
