c# - Getting error while throwing a list of errors? -

in project throwing list of error messages

like

 list<string> errormessagelist = errors[0].split(new char[] { ',' }).tolist();   throw new workflowexception(errormessagelist); 

and workflowexception class looks this

/// <summary> /// workflowexception class /// </summary> public class workflowexception : exception {     /// <summary>     /// initializes new instance of workflowexception class     /// </summary>     /// <param name="message">error message</param>     public workflowexception(list<string> message)     {         base.message = message;     } } 

but getting errors while assigning list of messages base.message can me this?

exception.message string, not list<string>, , it's read-only, have pass string base class via constructor chaining:

public class workflowexception : exception {     public workflowexception(list<string> messages)     : base(messages != null && messages.count > 0 ? messages[0] : "")     {        //...     } } 

alternatively, can override message property:

public class workflowexception : exception {     list<string> messages;      public workflowexception(list<string> messages)     {        this.messages = messages     }      public override string message     {       { return messages != null && messages.count > 0 ? messages[0] : "" }     } }
