Windows.UI.Xaml.ExceptionRoutedEventArgs.ErrorMessage

-description

Gets the message component of the exception, as a string.

-property-value

The message component of the exception.

-remarks

Don't display ErrorMessage strings to end users. Instead, use substrings and codes within the string to positively identify the error condition, and have your app take appropriate action or display user-appropriate information in the app UI.

-examples

This example shows use of ExceptionRoutedEventArgs in a handler in order to get the HResult and error message. This is code that might support debugging and testing during development but wouldn't be found as-is in production code. Production code might take this example further though. For example, once you've isolated the HResult from the ErrorMessage, your app code could branch on the HResult values and provide notification to users of what went wrong and possible actions to take to correct the problem.
