SqlException.Errors Property

Definition

Gets a collection of one or more SqlError objects that give detailed information about exceptions generated by the .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server.

public System.Data.SqlClient.SqlErrorCollection Errors { get; }

Property Value

The collected instances of the SqlError class.

Examples

The following example displays each SqlError within the SqlErrorCollection collection.

public static void ShowSqlException(string connectionString)
{
    string queryString = "EXECUTE NonExistantStoredProcedure";

    using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
    {
        SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(queryString, connection);
        try
        {
            command.Connection.Open();
            command.ExecuteNonQuery();
        }
        catch (SqlException ex)
        {
            DisplaySqlErrors(ex);
        }
    }
}

private static void DisplaySqlErrors(SqlException exception)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < exception.Errors.Count; i++)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Index #" + i + "\n" +
            "Error: " + exception.Errors[i].ToString() + "\n");
    }
    Console.ReadLine();
}

Remarks

The SqlErrorCollection class always contains at least one instance of the SqlError class.

This is a wrapper for SqlErrorCollection. For more information on SQL Server engine errors, see Database Engine Events and Errors.
