How do I get the type of Win32Exception, and classify it into something more specific? The message is only (arguably) good for showing it to the user.
Win32Exception.ErrorCode, Win32Exception.HResult, or Win32Exception.NativeErrorCode?

Win32Exception (0x80004005): The system cannot find the path specified. Developer Network.
Win32 exceptions are typically exceptions mapped from errors returned from P/Invoked Windows API routines. To be able to debug them properly, you may need to check "Enable native debugging" in project and/or ide settings.
ComponentModel. Win32Exception is the most basic exception type that will occur within your . NET applications when something goes wrong while using internal win32 -style operating system calls. These can vary from invalid path and file not found errors to network address issues and resource management problems.
It seems that to classify Win32Exception you should use use both:
Win32Exception.ErrorCode (HRESULT value)Win32Exception.NativeErrorCode (system error code)The exception message is a culture-specific translation of system error code, so don't use it. There are no built-in .NET classes for the mentioned values, you have to make your own.
Example: how to catch a specific "The system cannot find the file specified" kind of Win32Exception.
