Initializes a new instance of the TypeLoadException class.

Overloads

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

TypeLoadException()

Source:: TypeLoadException.cs

Source:: TypeLoadException.cs

Source:: TypeLoadException.cs

Initializes a new instance of the TypeLoadException class.

public:
 TypeLoadException();

public TypeLoadException ();

Public Sub New ()

Remarks

This constructor initializes the Message property of the new instance to a system-supplied message that describes the error, such as "A failure has occurred while loading a type." This message takes into account the current system culture.

The following table shows the initial property values for an instance of TypeLoadException.

Property	Value
InnerException	A null reference (`Nothing` in Visual Basic).
Message	The localized error message string.

Applies to

TypeLoadException(String)

Source:: TypeLoadException.cs

Source:: TypeLoadException.cs

Source:: TypeLoadException.cs

Initializes a new instance of the TypeLoadException class with a specified error message.

public:
 TypeLoadException(System::String ^ message);

public TypeLoadException (string message);

public TypeLoadException (string? message);

new TypeLoadException : string -> TypeLoadException

Public Sub New (message As String)

Parameters

message: String

The message that describes the error.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the TypeLoadException(String) constructor. It contains a method that generates a TypeLoadException with a custom message, and displays the error message to the console.

using namespace System;

class TypeLoadExceptionDemoClass
{
   public:
      static bool GenerateException()
      {
         // Throw a TypeLoadException with a custom message.
         throw gcnew TypeLoadException("This is a custom TypeLoadException error message.");
      }
};

int main()
{
   try {
      // Call a method that throws an exception.  
      TypeLoadExceptionDemoClass::GenerateException();
   }
   catch ( TypeLoadException^ e ) {
      Console::WriteLine("TypeLoadException:\n   {0}", e->Message);
   }
   catch ( Exception^ e ) 
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "Exception: \n\tError Message = {0}", e->Message );
   }

}
// The example displays the following output:
//       TypeLoadException:
//          This is a custom TypeLoadException error message.

using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      try {
         // Call a method that throws an exception.
         TypeLoadExceptionDemoClass.GenerateException();
      }
      catch (TypeLoadException e) {
         Console.WriteLine("TypeLoadException:\n   {0}", e.Message);
      }
   }
}

class TypeLoadExceptionDemoClass
{
   public static bool GenerateException()
   {
      // Throw a TypeLoadException with a custom defined message.
      throw new TypeLoadException("This is a custom TypeLoadException error message.");
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       TypeLoadException:
//          This is a custom TypeLoadException error message.

Public Class Example
   Public Shared Sub Main()
      Try
         ' Call a method that throws an exception.
         TypeLoadExceptionDemoClass.GenerateException()
      Catch e As TypeLoadException
         Console.WriteLine("TypeLoadException:{0}   {1}", vbCrLf, e.Message)
      End Try
   End Sub 
End Class 

Class TypeLoadExceptionDemoClass
   Public Shared Function GenerateException() As Boolean
      ' Throw a TypeLoadException with a custom message.
      Throw New TypeLoadException("This is a custom TypeLoadException error message.")
   End Function 
End Class 
' The example displays the following output:
'       TypeLoadException:
'          This is a custom TypeLoadException error message.

Remarks

The content of the message parameter should be understandable to the user. The caller of this constructor is required to ensure that this string has been localized for the current system culture.

The following table shows the initial property values for an instance of TypeLoadException.

Property	Value
InnerException	A null reference (`Nothing` in Visual Basic).
Message	The error message string.

Caution

This API supports obsolete formatter-based serialization. It should not be called or extended by application code.

Initializes a new instance of the TypeLoadException class with serialized data.

protected:
 TypeLoadException(System::Runtime::Serialization::SerializationInfo ^ info, System::Runtime::Serialization::StreamingContext context);

protected TypeLoadException (System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo info, System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext context);

[System.Obsolete("This API supports obsolete formatter-based serialization. It should not be called or extended by application code.", DiagnosticId="SYSLIB0051", UrlFormat="https://aka.ms/dotnet-warnings/{0}")]
protected TypeLoadException (System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo info, System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext context);

new TypeLoadException : System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo * System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext -> TypeLoadException

Parameters

info: SerializationInfo

The object that holds the serialized object data.

context: StreamingContext

The contextual information about the source or destination.

Attributes: ObsoleteAttribute

TypeLoadException(String, Exception)

Source:: TypeLoadException.cs

Source:: TypeLoadException.cs

Source:: TypeLoadException.cs

Initializes a new instance of the TypeLoadException class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception.

public:
 TypeLoadException(System::String ^ message, Exception ^ inner);

public TypeLoadException (string message, Exception inner);

public TypeLoadException (string? message, Exception? inner);

new TypeLoadException : string * Exception -> TypeLoadException

Public Sub New (message As String, inner As Exception)

Parameters

message: String

The error message that explains the reason for the exception.

inner: Exception

The exception that is the cause of the current exception. If the inner parameter is not null, the current exception is raised in a catch block that handles the inner exception.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the TypeLoadException(String, Exception) constructor. It contains a method that generates a TypeLoadException, catches that exception, and throws a new TypeLoadException with a custom message, including the original TypeLoadException as the inner exception.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Runtime::InteropServices;
ref class TypeLoadExceptionDemoClass
{
public:

   // A call to this method will raise a TypeLoadException.

   [DllImport("NonExistentDLL.DLL",EntryPoint="MethodNotExists")]
   static void NonExistentMethod();
   static void GenerateException()
   {
      try
      {
         NonExistentMethod();
      }
      catch ( TypeLoadException^ e ) 
      {
         
         // Rethrow exception with the exception as inner exception
         throw gcnew TypeLoadException( "This exception was raised due to a call to an invalid method.",e );
      }

   }

};

int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine( "Calling a method in a non-existent DLL which triggers a TypeLoadException." );
   try
   {
      TypeLoadExceptionDemoClass::GenerateException();
   }
   catch ( TypeLoadException^ e ) 
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "TypeLoadException: \n\tError Message = {0}", e->Message );
      Console::WriteLine( "TypeLoadException: \n\tInnerException Message = {0}", e->InnerException->Message );

End Class

Remarks

An exception that is thrown as a direct result of a previous exception can include a reference to the previous exception in the InnerException property. The InnerException property returns the same value that is passed into the constructor, or null if the InnerException property does not supply the inner exception value to the constructor.

The following table shows the initial property values for an instance of TypeLoadException.

Property	Value
InnerException	The inner exception reference.
Message	The error message string.
