![]() | MessageHeaderException(String) | Initializes a new instance of the MessageHeaderException class with the specified message. |
![]() | MessageHeaderException(String, Boolean) | Initializes a new instance of the MessageHeaderException class using the specified message and a value that indicates whether the message header is a duplicate or is missing. |
![]() | MessageHeaderException(String, Exception) | Initializes a new instance of the MessageHeaderException class using the specified message and the inner exception that caused the exception. |
![]() | MessageHeaderException(String, String, String) | Initializes a new instance of the MessageHeaderException class using the specified message, header name, and namespace. |
![]() | MessageHeaderException(String, String, String, Boolean) | Initializes a new instance of the MessageHeaderException class using the specified message, header name, and namespace, and a value that indicates whether the message header is a duplicate or is missing. |
![]() | MessageHeaderException(String, String, String, Exception) | Initializes a new instance of the MessageHeaderException class using the specified message, header name, and namespace, and the inner exception that caused the exception. |
![]() | MessageHeaderException(String, String, String, Boolean, Exception) | Initializes a new instance of the MessageHeaderException class using the specified message, header name, and namespace, a value that indicates whether the message header is a duplicate or is missing, and the inner exception that caused the exception. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Data | Gets a collection of key/value pairs that provide additional user-defined information about the exception. (Inherited from Exception.) |
![]() | HeaderName | Gets the name of the SOAP header that caused the exception. |
![]() | HeaderNamespace | Gets the namespace of the SOAP header that caused the 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.) |
![]() | IsDuplicate | Gets a value that indicates whether there are multiple message headers or no message headers. |
![]() | 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.) |
This exception is typically thrown when there are too many headers or headers are missing from the message. This can include infrastructure headers, such as the Action and Reliable Message headers. This exception derives from ProtocolException, which in turn derives from CommunicationException. The CommunicationException class represents a class of recoverable errors that may be thrown during communication between endpoints and that robust Windows Phone client applications are expected to handle. To prevent the more generic CommunicationException handler from catching the more specific ProtocolException, catch this exception prior to handling CommunicationException.
