numeric values for ex.messages

[pelusa]

Hello,

my question is: are there equivalent numeric values to ex.messages?

i.e. If (ex.Message = "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password")

if i don't want to use text as the check value what value can then be the equivalent to this exemption?

Thank you.

programming for exceptions is considered to bad. Instead modify your code such that as much as possible do not throw exception and instead return status as Enum or boolean or whatever that makes sense.

usually exception messages are for feedback purpose. may be i am wrong, but this is my opinion.

Also, you can't rely on exception message. You should rely on exception type to distinguish two different types of exception.
