Property Value

The value of this property cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

This value of this property can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Operation exception always contains a (non-null) inner exception. This is because it is thrown as a wrapper exception by single-operation methods, but multiple-operation methods return the inner exception through their results, and therefore the inner exception is the one that actually determines the error cause.

This method or property does not throw any exceptions, aside from execution exceptions such as System.Threading.ThreadAbortException or System.OutOfMemoryException.
