Exceptions
Exception | Description |
System.ArgumentNullException |
A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument.
This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception. |
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException |
The value of an argument is outside the allowable range of values as defined by the invoked method.
This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception. |
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException |
Part of a file or directory cannot be found.
This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately. |
System.IO.FileNotFoundException |
An attempt to access a file that does not exist on disk has failed.
This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately. |
System.IO.IOException |
An I/O error has occurred.
This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately. |
System.NotSupportedException | An invoked method is not supported at all, or is not supported with the parameters used to create the object. |
System.IO.PathTooLongException |
A path or fully qualified file name is longer than the system-defined maximum length.
This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately. |
System.Security.SecurityException |
