The ExecutionEngineException type exposes the following members.

Properties

	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.)

Methods

	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.)

Remarks

Note:
This class supports the .NET Framework for Silverlight library code and is not intended to be used by Silverlight application code.

Execution engine errors are fatal errors that should never occur. Such errors occur mainly when the execution engine has been corrupted or data is missing. The system can throw this exception at any time. When possible, the system throws an exception that provides more information than the ExecutionEngineException exception.

Applications should not throw ExecutionEngineException.

ExecutionEngineException uses the HRESULT COR_E_EXECUTIONENGINE, which has the value 0x80131506.

Note:
The value of the inherited Data property is always nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
