COMException(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)	Obsolete. Initializes a new instance of the COMException class from serialization data.
COMException(String, Exception)	Initializes a new instance of the COMException class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception.
COMException(String, Int32)	Initializes a new instance of the COMException class with a specified message and error code.
COMException(String)	Initializes a new instance of the COMException class with a specified message.
