MissingFieldException Class
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
The exception that is thrown when there is an attempt to dynamically access a field that does not exist.
System::Exception
System::SystemException
System::MemberAccessException
System::MissingMemberException
System::MissingFieldException
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The MissingFieldException type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | MissingFieldException() | Initializes a new instance of the MissingFieldException class. |
| MissingFieldException(String) | Initializes a new instance of the MissingFieldException class with a specified error message. |
| MissingFieldException(String, Exception) | Initializes a new instance of the MissingFieldException class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Data | Gets a collection of key/value pairs that provide additional user-defined information about the exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| HelpLink | Gets or sets a link to the help file associated with this exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| HResult | Gets or sets HRESULT, a coded numerical value that is assigned to a specific exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| InnerException | Gets the Exception instance that caused the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| Message | Gets the text string showing the class name, the member name, and the signature of the missing member. (Inherited from MissingMemberException.) |
| Source | Gets or sets the name of the application or the object that causes the error. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| StackTrace | Gets a string representation of the frames on the call stack at the time the current exception was thrown. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
 | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetBaseException | When overridden in a derived class, returns the Exception that is the root cause of one or more subsequent exceptions. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the runtime type of the current instance. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Creates and returns a string representation of the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
Normally a compilation error is generated if code attempts to access a nonexistent member of a class. MissingFieldException is designed to handle cases where an attempt is made to dynamically access a renamed or deleted field of an assembly that is not referenced by its strong name. The MissingFieldException is thrown when code in a dependent assembly attempts to access a missing field in an assembly that was modified.
MissingFieldException uses the HRESULT COR_E_MISSINGFIELD, that has the value 0x80131511.
For a list of initial property values for an instance of MissingFieldException, see the MissingFieldException constructors.
This example shows what happens if you attempt to use reflection to call a method that does not exist and access a field that does not exist. The application recovers by catching the MissingMethodException, MissingFieldException, and MissingMemberException.
