How to check for duplicate key violation?

EC
I get an SqlException caused by trying to insert a duplicate key into a
table. The user needs to be informed and asked to supply a new input. I
check the SqlException object and see these two properties:

ex.Number = 2627
ex.Message = "Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint ..."

So is it safe to check the Number property against 2627 ? If not, what is
the proper way to check this exception?

Yes.
Error Number 2627 for MS-SQL server is for the violation of Unique-Key
Constraint.

Rules: The number is valid only for MS-SQL server.
