How do I determine the HResult for a System.IO.IOException?

by

For .Net Framework 4.5 and above, you can use the Exception.HResult property:

int hr = ex.HResult;

For older versions, you can use Marshal.GetHRForException to get back the HResult, but this has significant side-effects and is not recommended:

int hr = Marshal.GetHRForException(ex);
