C# in a Nutshell

Name

FieldAccessException

Synopsis

This exception is thrown when you try to access a protected or private field that you would not normally have access to. Most compilers will not let you compile code that does this directly. However, late-bound code can sneak by the compiler and throw this exception at runtime. For example, if you lack sufficient privileges to modify a field using System.Reflection.FieldInfo.SetValue(), this exception is thrown.

public class FieldAccessException : MemberAccessException {
// Public Constructors
   public method FieldAccessException();  
   public method FieldAccessException(string message);  
   public method FieldAccessException(string message, 
        Exception inner);  
// Protected Constructors
   protected method FieldAccessException(
        System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo info, 
        System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext context);  
}
