Remarks

A TargetException is thrown when an attempt is made to invoke a non-static method on a null object. This may occur because the caller does not have access to the member, or because the target does not define the member, and so on.

Note

This exception is not included in the .NET for Windows Store apps or the Portable Class Library, but it is thrown by some members that are. To catch the exception in that case, write a catch statement for Exception instead.

Constructors

TargetException()	Initializes a new instance of the TargetException class with an empty message and the root cause of the exception.
TargetException(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)	Obsolete. Initializes a new instance of the TargetException class with the specified serialization and context information.
TargetException(String, Exception)	Initializes a new instance of the TargetException class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception.
TargetException(String)	Initializes a new instance of the TargetException class with the given message and the root cause exception.
