This project provides a library of classes derived from System.Exception that offer constructors to set the HResult property with a custom value. It also includes helper classes to create standardized HRESULT values compliant to Microsoft's usage of HRESULT. See here for more information.

• .NET Framework 4.6 or newer for desktop applications
• Universal Windows Platform (UWP) 10.0 (Windows 10) or newer for Windows Store Apps and Windows 10 IoT
• .NET Core 1.0 (netstandard1.6).

The neutral resource language for all texts is English (en-US). Currently, the only localization available is German (de-DE). If you like to add other languages, feel free to send a pull request with the translated resources!

• Use the NuGet package from my MyGet feed: https://www.myget.org/F/nerdyduck-release/api/v3/index.json. If you need to debug the library, get the debug symbols from the same feed: https://www.myget.org/F/nerdyduck-release/symbols/.
• Download the binaries from the Releases page.
• You can clone the repository and compile the libraries yourself (see the Wiki for requirements).

For examples and a complete class reference, please see the Wiki.

#####2016-08-04 / 1.3.1 / DAK

• Universal project compiled against Microsoft.NETCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform 5.2.2 .

#####2016-08-02 / 1.3.0 / DAK

• Added new target platform .NET Core 1.0. Compiled against netstandard1.6 .
• Added new exceptions: CodedInvalidCastException, CodedSocketException, InsufficientStorageSpaceException.
• New project CodedExceptionsCore and unit test project CodedExceptionsCoreTests. New compilation symbol NETCORE used to for platform-specific code.
• All code files (except platform-specific files) moved to CodedExceptionsCore and CodedExceptionsCoreTests projects, because .xproj project type does not support links.
• Handling of resource files has changed. Source are now .resx files, that are copied and renamed to .resw to be used in the UWP project.
• Strong name key file NerdyDuck.CodedExceptions.snk and certificate NerdyDuck.CodedExceptions.pfx are now included in the project to make it easier to clone and compile.
• Signing of output assemblies with SPC certificate has moved from the library projects to the deploy project CodedExceptionsDeploy. Libraries will only be signed when the NuGet package is created and pushed (compiled as Release).

#####2016-04-12 / 1.2.1 / DAK

• Added HResultHelper.GetEnumInt32Value(Enum) and HResultHelper.GetEnumUnderlyingType(Type) to facilitate new method in Errors.cs: Errors.CreateHResult(Enum).
• Switched internal error codes from integers to ErrorCodes enumeration.
• Universal project compiled against Microsoft.NETCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform 5.1.0 .

#####2016-04-06 / 1.2.0 / DAK

• Added CodedTypeLoadException.
• Added deployment project to compile all projects and create/push the NuGet package in one go. Removed separate NuGet project. Removes also dependency on NuGet Packager Template.
• Extracted file signing into its own reusable MSBuild target file.
• Extracted resource generation for desktop project into its own reusable MSBuild target file.
• Created a MSBuild target for automatic T4 transformations on build. Removes dependency on Visual Studio Modeling SDK.

#####2016-01-08 / v1.1.2 / DAK

• Changed target version for UWP library to Windows 10 build 10586; minimum version remains build 10240.
• Changed automatic signing of assemblies from post-compiler batch script to msbuild task.

#####2015-12-04 / v1.1.1 / DAK

• Restructured solution into separate folders for sources, tests, examples and deployment/documentation.
• Fixed bug in NuGet package that prevented the PRI file to be deployed by a UWP project referencing the package.
• Some cleanup

#####2015-11-03 / v1.1.0 / DAK

• Added CodedArgumentNullOrEmptyException and CodedArgumentNullOrWhiteSpaceException.
• Changed version numbers to align file versions with NuGet version.
• Changed target platform of desktop library to .NET 4.6.
• Added missing AssemblyMetadataAttribute to UAP assemblies.
• On release compilation, output files are signed with a SPC.
• Replaced manually updated Resources.cs by T4 template. Added new build targets to UAP project to run the template at every build. VS Modeling SDK required.
• Fixed localization errors.
• Completed unit tests. Test coverage > 98%

#####2015-09-24 / v1.0.1 / DAK

• Fixed bug in desktop library resource generation.
• Added documentation.
• Added example projects.
• Changed project URL in NuGet package to point to GitHub.

#####2015-08-27 / v1.0.0 / DAK

• Initial release. No class documentation yet.
