Exception Types

[Jonny Wilson]

Apologies if this is a stupid question but - can you tell my where I can access the exception TYPE?

For example: I try to decrypt a message not intended for my private key, the library throws an exception (with message):

Decryption of data encrypted using KEY-ID(s) : 4153E840 failed, no matching key was found in the KeyStore.

How can I access the Exception Type to check against in the catch block?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Jonny,

At the end of each chapter in the online tutorial you can find a topic "Exception Handling"

For example here is that topic in the chapter for OpenPGP decrypting:

I did see this in the past, I forgot it was there.  My apologies.

Hi, I have the same error, but this happens when i try to decrypt a file in Windows Server 2012, in windows 10 there is no problem with the same key/file.

I'm using this code

            var keyStore = KeyStore.OpenInMemory();

            keyStore.ImportKeyRing("c:\users\user\documents\pgp\secring.skr");

            var pgp = new PGPLib();

            pgp.DecryptFile("file.csv.pgp", keyStore, "PGP Test key", "file.csv");

it only fails with one private key, the other ones in the Windows Server 2012 are working ok,

Hi Jorge,

Can you try on the Windows 2012 server to execute this code against the same KeyStore:

bool hasPrivateKey = keyStore.ContainsPrivateKey("2AB64399");

and check the result.

Best,
