How to I determine LookupError.NotFound from AggregateException

How to I determine LookupError.NotFound from AggregateException

Here is code:

try{

pFilesRoutes.GetMetadataAsync("/shesnotthere", false)

}catch(AggregateException e)

{

foreach (var err in e.InnerExceptions)

{

if (err is LookupError.NotFound)

do something

}}}

How do I "dig out" the correct error and check its type ?

    Here's a small sample of how you can explicitly check for an error like NotFound:

     try {
        var metadata = await this.client.Files.GetMetadataAsync("/non-existant path");
        Console.WriteLine(metadata.Name);
    } catch (Dropbox.Api.ApiException<Dropbox.Api.Files.GetMetadataError> e) {

        if (e.ErrorResponse.IsPath) {
            var pathError = e.ErrorResponse.AsPath.Value;
            if (pathError.IsNotFound) {
                Console.WriteLine ("File or folder not found.");
            } else {
                Console.WriteLine (pathError);
            }
        } else {
            Console.WriteLine (e.ErrorResponse);
        }
    }

    Hope this helps!

    Here is what worked for me:

    catch (AggregateException e)

     

     

     

    {

     

     

     

    foreach (Exception error in e.InnerExceptions)

     

     

     

    {

     

     

     

    if (error is Dropbox.Api.ApiException<Dropbox.Api.Files.GetMetadataError>)

     

     

     

    {
