C# Store type in an array

Question

I want to store an error in an array, but when I try this it tells me

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException is a type, which is not valid in the given context.

Type[] errorArray = new Type[] { System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException };

Am I doing something wrong, or is it not possible this way?

Answer 1

What you want to do is use typeof().

Type[] errorArray = new Type[] { typeof(System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException) };

This way you store the type of your exception.
