Remarks

CompilerError represents a compiler error or a warning that has been returned by the compiler.

Note

This class contains an inheritance demand at the class level that applies to all members. A SecurityException is thrown when the derived class does not have full-trust permission. For details about inheritance demands, see Inheritance Demands.

Constructors

CompilerError()	Initializes a new instance of the CompilerError class.
CompilerError(String, Int32, Int32, String, String)	Initializes a new instance of the CompilerError class using the specified file name, line, column, error number, and error text.

Properties

Column	Gets or sets the column number where the source of the error occurs.
ErrorNumber	Gets or sets the error number.
ErrorText	Gets or sets the text of the error message.
FileName	Gets or sets the file name of the source file that contains the code which caused the error.
IsWarning	Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the error is a warning.
Line	Gets or sets the line number where the source of the error occurs.

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Provides an implementation of Object's ToString() method.
