Methods

Icon	Type	Description
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
	Finalize()	Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.
	GetBaseException()	When overridden in a derived class, returns the Exception that is the root cause of one or more subsequent exceptions.
	GetHashCode()	Serves as a hash function for a particular type.
	GetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)	When overridden in a derived class, sets the SerializationInfo with information about the exception.
	GetType()	Gets the runtime type of the current instance.
	MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
	ToString()	Creates and returns a string representation of the current exception.

Constructors

Icon	Type	Description
	TotalLossOfPrecisionExceptionNew()	Constructs a new TotalLossOfPrecisionException.
	TotalLossOfPrecisionExceptionNew(String)	Constructs a new TotalLossOfPrecisionException.
	TotalLossOfPrecisionExceptionNew(String, Exception)	Constructs a new TotalLossOfPrecisionException.
	TotalLossOfPrecisionExceptionNew(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)	Initializes a new instance of the TotalLossOfPrecisionException class with serialized data.

Properties

Icon	Type	Description
	Data	Gets a collection of key/value pairs that provide additional, user-defined information about the exception.
	HelpLink	Gets or sets a link to the help file associated with this exception.
	HResult	Gets or sets HRESULT, a coded numerical value that is assigned to a specific exception.
	InnerException	Gets the Exception instance that caused the current exception.
	Message	Gets a message that describes the current exception.
	Source	Gets or sets the name of the application or the object that causes the error.
	StackTrace	Gets a string representation of the frames on the call stack at the time the current exception was thrown.
	TargetSite	Gets the method that throws the current exception.

Remarks

In some rare cases, round-off error can cause the result of an operation to have no correct significant digits at all. When this happens, an exception of type TotalLossOfPrecisionException is thrown.

Round-off errors are the result of the finite precision of floating-point numbers. Only a few numbers can be represented exactly. The main contributing factor to total loss of precision is when two numbers of approximately equal size are subtracted.
