Reporting.ErrorDetail

ErrorDetail is an immutable message-plus-optional-exception container used by Reporting.ReportBase to collect non-fatal errors encountered during Create, Render, Print, Distribute, and Save operations, instead of allowing exceptions to propagate directly to the caller.

Purpose

• Record a human-readable message and, when available, the underlying Exception for a failure encountered during report generation, so callers can inspect ReportBase.Errors after a False/failed result.*

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Services.Printing.Reporting
• Assembly/package: SAIF.Services.Printing (embedded, front-end referenced)

Public members

Member	Signature	Purpose
New(message)	Public Sub New(message As String)	Creates an error entry with only a message, no associated exception.
New(message, ex)	Public Sub New(message As String, ex As Exception)	Creates an error entry carrying both a message and the exception that caused it.
Message	Public ReadOnly Property Message As String	The human-readable description of the error condition.
Exception	Public ReadOnly Property Exception As Exception	The exception that was caught when this error was recorded, or Nothing if none was supplied.

Behavioral notes

• Instances of this type are appended to ReportBase.Errors whenever an operation catches an exception internally rather than allowing it to propagate.*

Constraints and usage notes

• This type is immutable; both properties are set only via the constructor.

Note: Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts.
