.NET Exceptions (all of them)

The surce code for generating the list of .NET exceptions that I posted earlier. Here it is finally. This just outputs an XML structure to the console. You can redirect the output to a file then use an XSLT transform on it (or do whatever else you want with it).

using System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Text;using System.Reflection;using System.Collections;using System.Text.RegularExpressions;using System.Design;using System.Xml;using System.IO;namespace ExceptionList{    class Program    {        static void Main(string[] args)        {            ReflectionSearch(".*exception$");            Console.ReadKey();        }        static public void ReflectionSearch(string strPattern)        {            Assembly thisAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();            AssemblyName[] assemblyNames = thisAssembly.GetReferencedAssemblies();            // Force the load of various assemblies            LoadAssemblies();            Regex regex = new Regex(@"^(?<path>.*)\.(?<exc>.*?)$", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.ExplicitCapture);            foreach (var assemblyName in assemblyNames)            {                // iterate over all of the modules referenced by this assembly                Assembly assembly = Assembly.Load(assemblyName);                foreach (Module module in assembly.GetModules())                {                    SortedList<string, string> moduleList = new SortedList<string, string>();                    foreach (Type t in module.GetTypes())                    {                        // if there is a class of type Exception in this module                        // add it to the sorted list                        if (t.IsSubclassOf(typeof(Exception)))                        {                            // the funky key is so that the output will be sorted                            // the way a human would want it to be                            moduleList.Add(t.Namespace + ".1" + t.Name, t.FullName);                        }                    }                    // as long as we found some exceptions in this module                    if (moduleList.Count > 0)                    {                        string lastPath = "";                        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("<module name=\"{0}\">", module.Name));                        // get the XML file containing the XML comments for the .NET objects                        // As far as I can tell, the 2.0 framework comes with these files                        // but the 3.0 and 3.5 framework does not.

You’ll need to add the following references:

System.Xonfiguration

System.Configuration.Install

System.Core

System.Data

System.Design

System.DirectoryService

System.Drawing

System.Management

System.Messaging

System.RunTimeRemoting

System.Security

System.ServiceProcess

System.Web

System.Windows.Forms

System.Xml

System.Xml.Linq

i found the fr 3.0 and 3.5 xml comment files at

C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.5

and

C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.0\en

this is where the vs object browser querys the data.
