AmbiguousMatchException Class
The exception that is thrown when binding to a member results in more than one member matching the binding criteria. This class cannot be inherited.
Namespace: System.Reflection
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The AmbiguousMatchException type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() | AmbiguousMatchException | Initializes a new instance of the AmbiguousMatchException class with an empty message string and the root cause exception set to Nothing. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | AmbiguousMatchException(String) | Initializes a new instance of the AmbiguousMatchException class with its message string set to the given message and the root cause exception set to Nothing. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | AmbiguousMatchException(String, Exception) | Initializes a new instance of the AmbiguousMatchException 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.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 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 a message that describes the current exception. (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.) |
AmbiguousMatchException uses the HRESULT COR_E_AMBIGUOUSMATCH, which has the value 0x8000211D.
An AmbiguousMatchException is thrown when a member is invoked late-bound and multiple overloads satisfy the binding criteria, or when more than one member matches the binding criteria passed to a reflection method that can return only a single result (for example, Type.GetMethod or Type.GetProperty).
