Notes

The IOException represents errors that can occur while using the shared methods for opening and creating streams: BinaryStream.Open, BinaryStream.Create, TextOutputStream.Create, TextOutputStream.Append, and TextInputStream.Open. If you are using older APIs, you need to check the FolderItem.LastErrorCode property.

Error Codes

The ErrorNumber property of an IOException may be set to an OS error code.

macOS

The OS Status web site can help track down error code meanings.

In addition you can check the older Mac OS System Error Codes, which are can still be useful since LastErrorCode uses older Carbon error codes.

Windows

Windows error codes are available at MSDN.

Linux

Linux error codes are defined in a header file, errno.h.

Sample Code

The following example catches an IOException if it occurs.

Var f As FolderItem = FolderItem.ShowSaveFileDialog(FileTypes1.Text, "Create Example.txt")
If f <> Nil Then
Var t As TextOutputStream = TextOutputStream.Create(f) // this line could raise an IOException.
t.WriteLine(TextField1.Value)
End If

Exception err As IOException
MsgBox("an IO exception occurred")
