Constructors
| Exception() | Initializes a new instance of the Exception class. | 
| Exception(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) | 
				Obsolete.
			 Initializes a new instance of the Exception class with serialized data. | 
| Exception(String, Exception) | Initializes a new instance of the Exception class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception. | 
| Exception(String) | Initializes a new instance of the Exception class with a specified error message. | 
Properties
| Data | Gets a collection of key/value pairs that provide additional user-defined information about the exception. | 
| HelpLink | Gets or sets a link to the help file associated with this exception. | 
| HResult | Gets or sets HRESULT, a coded numerical value that is assigned to a specific exception. | 
| InnerException | Gets the Exception instance that caused the current exception. | 
| Message | Gets a message that describes the current exception. | 
| Source | Gets or sets the name of the application or the object that causes the error. | 
| StackTrace | Gets a string representation of the immediate frames on the call stack. | 
| TargetSite | Gets the method that throws the current exception. | 
Methods
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object) | 
| GetBaseException() | When overridden in a derived class, returns the Exception that is the root cause of one or more subsequent exceptions. | 
| GetHashCode() | Serves as the default hash function.(Inherited from Object) | 
| GetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) | 
				Obsolete.
			 When overridden in a derived class, sets the SerializationInfo with information about the exception. | 
| GetType() | Gets the runtime type of the current instance. | 
| GetType() | Gets the Type of the current instance.(Inherited from Object) | 
| MemberwiseClone() | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.(Inherited from Object) | 
| ToString() | Creates and returns a string representation of the current exception. | 
Events
| SerializeObjectState | 
				Obsolete.
			 Occurs when an exception is serialized to create an exception state object that contains serialized data about the exception. |
