Syntax

public class ValidationException : Exception, ISerializable

Remarks

In addition to the standard Message property (which carries the human-readable failure description), this exception exposes FieldName so that callers can programmatically identify which field caused the problem - useful for Editor tooling or custom error reporting.

This exception is always thrown synchronously inside ValidateObject(object). It is not intended to be caught and swallowed in production code; it represents a configuration error that must be fixed before the application can run correctly. If non-throwing behavior is required, use TryValidateObject(object, out string) instead, which catches this exception internally.

Constructors

ValidationException(string, string)

Initializes a new instance of ValidationException for the named field with the supplied error message.

Declaration

public ValidationException(string fieldName, string message)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	fieldName	The C# name of the field that failed validation, as returned by Name via reflection. This value is exposed through FieldName and is used by tooling to identify the offending field. Must not be `null`.
string	message	The human-readable description of the validation failure. This becomes the value of Message. Either the custom error string supplied in the validation attribute or a default generated from `fieldName`.

Properties

FieldName

Gets the C# name of the field that failed validation.

Declaration

public string FieldName { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
string	The exact field name as returned by Name via reflection (e.g., `"_mainCamera"` for a private field named `_mainCamera`). This value is set at construction time and is never `null`.
