CertificateServiceException

A custom exception type used by the certificate services to signal certificate-processing failures with a caller-supplied message, distinguishing certificate-domain errors from generic System.Exception instances raised elsewhere in the call stack.*

Purpose

• Provides a distinct exception type that certificate-related services can throw and callers can catch specifically, rather than catching a generic System.Exception.*

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Services.Policies.Certificates
• Assembly/package: SAIF.Services (packaged inside the SAIF.SAIFCode.Core NuGet package).

Public members

Member	Signature	Purpose
CertificateServiceException (constructor)	public CertificateServiceException(string message)	Creates the exception with the given message, passing it through to the base Exception(string) constructor.

Behavioral notes

• Only the single-argument (string message) constructor is defined; the standard parameterless, (message, innerException), and serialization constructors are not implemented, as flagged by the suppressed CA1032:ImplementStandardExceptionConstructors and CA2237:MarkISerializableTypesWithSerializable warnings.
• The type does not add any custom properties or override any base Exception members beyond the constructor.

Constraints and usage notes

• Because the full set of standard exception constructors is not implemented, this type cannot be constructed without a message, and cannot be used to wrap an inner exception directly through its own constructors.*
• As a plain System.Exception subclass with no additional state, callers should not expect this type to carry structured error data beyond the message string.

Note: Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
