AggregateException C# example

AggregateException C# example

问题

I have seen an example of AggregateException on the web and I'm trying to figure out how it works. I have written a simple example, but my code for some reason doesn't work.

Could someone explain to me what the problem is?

public static void Main()
{
    try
    {
        Parallel.For(0, 500000, i =>
        {
            if (i == 10523)
                throw new TimeoutException("i = 10523");
            Console.WriteLine(i + "\n");
        });
    }
    catch (AggregateException exception)
    {
        foreach (Exception ex in exception.InnerExceptions)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
        }
    }
}

A TimeoutException is not an AggregateException, this is why you don't enter the catch region. You have to create manually an AggregateException containing the timeout exception... See my answer below. Cheers.

AggregateException is often used for catching exceptions, that might occur when waiting for a Task to complete. Because Task in general can consist of multiple others, we do not know, whether there will be one or more exceptions thrown.

Check the following example:

// set up your task
Action<int> job = (int i) =>
{
    if (i % 100 == 0)
        throw new TimeoutException("i = " + i);
};

// we want many tasks to run in paralell
var tasks = new Task[1000];
for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{
    // assign to other variable,
    // or it will use the same number for every task
    var j = i; 
    // run your task
    var task = Task.Run(() => job(j));
    // save it
    tasks[i] = task;
}

try
{
    // wait for all the tasks to finish in a blocking manner
    Task.WaitAll(tasks);

}
catch (AggregateException e)
{
    // catch whatever was thrown
    foreach (Exception ex in e.InnerExceptions)
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}

You need to call Handle on the inner exceptions. From MSDN's documentation on Handle:

Each invocation of the predicate returns true or false to indicate whether the Exception was handled. After all invocations, if any exceptions went unhandled, all unhandled exceptions will be put into a new AggregateException which will be thrown. Otherwise, the Handle method simply returns. If any invocations of the predicate throws an exception, it will halt the processing of any more exceptions and immediately propagate the thrown exception as-is.

The example code, also from MSDN:

public static void Main()
{
    var task1 = Task.Run(() => { throw new CustomException("This exception is expected!"); });

    try 
    {
        task1.Wait();
    }
    catch (AggregateException ae)
    {
        // Call the Handle method to handle the custom exception,
        // otherwise rethrow the exception.
        ae.Handle(ex => 
        { 
            if (ex is CustomException)
                Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
            return ex is CustomException;
        });
    }
}

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.aggregateexception.handle?view=net-6.0

Invokes a handler on each Exception contained by this AggregateException.

public void Handle (Func<Exception,bool> predicate);

Parameters

predicate

Func<Exception,Boolean>

The predicate to execute for each exception. The predicate accepts as an argument the Exception to be processed and returns a Boolean to indicate whether the exception was handled.

  // Call the Handle method to handle the custom exception,
         // otherwise rethrow the exception.
         ae.Handle(ex => { if (ex is CustomException)
                             Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
                          return ex is CustomException;
                        });
