The following code example shows how to catch an InvalidEnumArgumentException exception and interpret its content. The example attempts to pass an invalid enumeration value (MessageBoxButtons
) through casting, as the MessageBox.Show method's third argument. Upon catching the exception, the example fetches the respective error message, the invalid parameter, stack trace, and origin of the exception.
try
{
//Attempting to pass an invalid enum value (MessageBoxButtons) to the Show method
MessageBoxButtons myButton = (MessageBoxButtons)123; // to fix use System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult::OK;
MessageBox::Show( this, "This is a message", "This is the Caption", myButton );
}
catch ( InvalidEnumArgumentException^ invE )
{
Console::WriteLine( invE->Message );
Console::WriteLine( invE->ParamName );
Console::WriteLine( invE->StackTrace );
Console::WriteLine( invE->Source );
}
try
{
// Attempts to pass an invalid enum value (MessageBoxButtons) to the Show method
MessageBoxButtons myButton = (MessageBoxButtons)123;
MessageBox.Show("This is a message", "This is the Caption", myButton);
}
catch (InvalidEnumArgumentException invE)
{
Console.WriteLine(invE.Message);
Console.WriteLine(invE.ParamName);
Console.WriteLine(invE.StackTrace);
Console.WriteLine(invE.Source);
}
Try
' Attempts to pass an invalid enum value (MessageBoxButtons) to the Show method
Dim myButton As MessageBoxButtons
myButton = CType(123, MessageBoxButtons)
MessageBox.Show("This is a message", "This is the Caption", myButton)
Catch invE As System.ComponentModel.InvalidEnumArgumentException
Console.WriteLine(invE.Message)
Console.WriteLine(invE.ParamName)
Console.WriteLine(invE.StackTrace)
Console.WriteLine(invE.Source)
End Try
