Exception class with additional parameter

[Jamie Oglethorpe]

I would like to create a new exception class with an additional
parameter, something like this:

public class MyException: Exception
{
private String field = "";
public void MyException(String Message, String Field)
{
this.field = Field;
...
}
}

How do I go about this? In particular, I want the Message parameter to
have the normal interpretation.

using System;

public class MyException : Exception {
private string field;

public MyException(string message, string field)
: base(message) {
this.field = field;
}
}

HTH,

Hi,

Use the base class's constructor:

class MyException : Exception
{
public void MyException(string message, string field) : base (message)
{
...
}
}

Then you need to call the appropriate base constructor. For instance:

public MyException (string message, string field) : base (message)
{
this.field = field;
}

The other showed how to do it, the following article gives some guidelines
to follow when you do create custom exceptions:

Thanks guys. I knew there had to be some elegant way of doing this.
