OcrException Class

Summary

Represents the exception that is thrown when a runtime error occurs inside the IOcrEngine

Syntax

Java

C++

[SerializableAttribute()] 
public class OcrException : Exception

<SerializableAttribute()> 
Public Class OcrException  
   Inherits System.Exception 
   Implements System.Runtime.InteropServices._Exception, System.Runtime.Serialization.ISerializable

public class OcrException extends RuntimeException

[SerializableAttribute()] 
public ref class OcrException : public System.Exception, System.Runtime.InteropServices._Exception, System.Runtime.Serialization.ISerializable

Remarks

When a runtime error occurs in the IOcrEngine, an exception of type OcrException is thrown with the engine-specific error code set in the Code member. This error code is engine-specific but a short description can be obtained using the Message property of this class or by using the IOcrEngine.GetErrorCodeString method.

Logic errors such as invalid parameters to methods or invalid operations throw standard .NET exceptions (in this case, ArgumentException and InvalidOperationException respectively Errors caused by loading invalid image files using IOcrEngine.RasterCodecsInstance will throw exceptions of type RasterException. Errors for missing features (support locked) will throw OcrSupportLockedException exceptions. Any other runtime error in the engine will throw an OcrException.

Example

This example shows how to trap various types of exceptions during OCR operations.

      { 
         // Start the engine using default parameters 
         ocrEngine.Startup(null, null, null, LEAD_VARS.OcrAdvantageRuntimeDir); 
 
         string tifFileName = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "Ocr1.tif");
