The InvalidDataContractException type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | InvalidDataContractException() | Initializes a new instance of the InvalidDataContractException class. |
| InvalidDataContractException(String) | Initializes a new instance of the InvalidDataContractException class with the specified error message. |
| InvalidDataContractException(String, Exception) | Initializes a new instance of the InvalidDataContractException class with the specified error message and inner 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 a message that describes the current exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
| 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.) |
An instance of this type is thrown if the DataContractSerializer detects that the type of the instance being serialized or deserialized is invalid. An instance of this type is also thrown if an invalid type is passed to the schema import or export engine.
