The MatrixSingularException type exposes the following members.

	Name	Description
	MatrixSingularException	Constructs a new MatrixSingularException.
	MatrixSingularException(String)	Constructs a new MatrixSingularException.
	MatrixSingularException(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)	Initializes a new instance of the MatrixSingularException class with serialized data.
	MatrixSingularException(String, Exception)	Constructs a new MatrixSingularException.

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

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

	Name	Description
	SerializeObjectState	Occurs when an exception is serialized to create an exception state object that contains serialized data about the exception. (Inherited from Exception.)

Operations like solving a system of simultaneous linear equations require the matrix to be of full rank. When it is not of full rank, and therefore singular, a MatrixSingularException is thrown.

You can avoid this exception by first calling the matrix or decomposition's IsSingular method. If this method returns , then proceding with the operation will result in a MatrixSingularException.
