Err.Description Property

Err.Description Property

---

Class

Microsoft.VisualBasic.ErrObject

Syntax

     Dim result As String = Err.Description 

Description

The Description property gets or sets a general text description of a runtime error.

Usage at a Glance

• When a runtime error occurs, the Description property is automatically assigned the standard description of the error.

• While you can assign the Description property directly, the Err.Raise method is a better way to assign the values of a custom error.

• You can override a standard error description by assigning your own description to the Description property for both VB errors and application-defined errors.
