ADO.NET in a Nutshell

Name

SqlException

Synopsis

This exception represents a data source error. For example, if you attempt to execute a SQL statement that is syntactically incorrect or try to open a connection to a database server that can’t be found, this exception is thrown. Every SqlException contains at least one SqlError, identifying the problem, in the SqlErrorCollection object. Errors that happen while disconnected from the data source (such as violating a System.Data.DataSet constraint or attempting to access a deleted row) result in a more specific exception from the System.Data namespace.
