TypeInitializationException

Question

I tried to zip files(ie.images,txt,doc....) in c# and tried this (which gives a answer by using J#)

 using java.io;
 using Java.util.zip;

 \\part of code which throws exception
 private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      Zip(@"D:\Zipped.zip",new string[]{"ico_1.ico","readme.txt"});
    }
 private void Zip(string zipFileName, string[] sourceFile)
    {
      FileOutputStream filOpStrm = new FileOutputStream(zipFileName);

Exception message:

'The type initializer for 'java.io.File' threw an exception.'

I found that the problem is on FileOutputStream .. But, cant find a way to to solve it.. And all i want is a solution to solve this issue and reason for this Exception....

Answer 1

Debug it! Debug the code line by line in IDE, then you can know which line throw this exception.

When a class initializer fails to initialize a type, a TypeInitializationException is created and passed a reference to the exception thrown by the type's class initializer. The InnerException property of TypeInitializationException holds the underlying exception.
